There's a great Stuff You Should Know podcast episode on Interpol. As you point out, they're not a police force. They're an international organization designed to help connect police forces together. They know who to call and have translation services, etc.

A more apt description is that Interpol issued a notice stating that Japan wants this guy.

Yes, whereas e.g. European Arrest Warrants are serious business (because unlike the UN, the EU has teeth).

Except Interpol isn’t part of UN, so whether UN has teeth or not is pretty much irrelevant here.

And now Interpol is increasingly used by suspect regimes (not including Japan in that!, but I would include China or Russia, Saudi Arabia) against their political rivals. Because of China's actions, I think Interpol lost a lot of credibility.
