How does asexuality work? Do asexuals have no sexual interest? Do they get horny but just don’t want to engage in coitus? Do they still feel romantic attraction, just not sexual attraction? Are asexuals only interested in themselves?

Asexuality can vary.
In general, what asexuals are share is a lack of sexual attraction. Most asexuals simply will not be attracted to someone. Grey asexuals and demisexuals may develop feelings of attraction for a particular individual if they develop a close relationship.
Then another axis to look at is their attitude toward sex. Attraction and libido are different, so some asexuals have more or less libido than others. Some asexuals are sex repulsed. Not only do they not experience attraction, but they are actively disinterested in sex. Some are sex positive; they may either be willing to or interested in having sex, ranging from only engaging in it when they have a romantic partner who enjoys sex, to seeking it out because it feels good.
People are individuals, even under the same umbrella. So what really matters for your question is that asexual people do not experience sexual attraction. And other things relating to that can vary with the individual.
