I’m curious about how does the mechanics of this sort of module work? I know there are 5+ tables running at the same time, but besides that why are there 5 tables running at the same time? Are they competing?
My larger question would be would either me or my table be at a large disadvantage if I only had a level 2 character to run? While others maybe be as high as 11.

Players are still grouped by sub-tier, in this case 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9, and 10-11. There can never be a table with a level 2 and a level 11 together.
Some of the encounters have all the tables doing the same thing at the same time in the same place concurrently, and the total number of successes of the tables in the room can trigger moving on to the next challenge. You succeed as a group, not just as a table.

The special scenarios are meant to be run essentially like battle interactives. In a sense, everyone playing is working together to achieve a common goal.
The scenario has been tiered appropriately for each level and the risk is appropriate for each tier despite the goal being the same across the tiers.
The basic layout is that you are given an introduction to the setting, given a task and a certain amount of time in which to obtain that task. There are parts that are dependent on one group reaching it first, if that happens than all tables are jumped ahead to the next goal and basically get a pass at the previous goal.
