What you have is the set up that you put a Humidistat on . This will slow the blower down when on AC to take out more humidity.

can i use this function to add more comfort in cooling?

Yes that is what its for

I don't know how Rheem wires it up, You will have to look at the drawing on how it's done.

Yes, you may have to switch some wires around.

Check out the paper work you have with the unit. Or on the blower door
What you have now turns the humidifer on when you need more humidity.
When you go to AC the humidistat has to slow the blower down to take out more humidity. So check out what you have there. On a Trane V/S the humidistat goes on R an BK in the blower unit
