It’s technically both. The hitbox goes all the way across, and it’s active enough to outlast the invincibility, which is good. The cr.mk I did to beat Gouki ultra was very early.
After HCF+MK against Blanka you cannot do cr.MP xx LK Tatsu because it causes the Tatsu to whiff, you must use cr.LP. Also you can punish a blocked heavy horizontal Blanka ball by dashing forward and using cr.HP xx whatever.
This one works alot more than it sounds:
If your opponent is across the screen and you throw a lp hadoken. Then let them jump over it at the last second. you can bait an hk tetsu and catch them for 2 hits. If you input the tetsu during their forward jump animation. It’s great on reaction. Anything less than 2/3rds of the screen and it’s open for any jumping counterattack.
After a forward throw. If you time it right, move next to your oppnent. You can hk tetsu before they stand and it will hit twice on cross up. Because of how fast it moves, it is safe on most blocks aside from certain character specific moves. (IE: cammy’s horizontal cannon spike, but not the vertical if the second hit of the tetsu connects)
If you have the time, check out this video from WinnerStaysOn:
As for the back throw, im not sure. Since it puts a little too far to make up the distance quickly. Maybe a short teleport to bait and switch with?
