Yes, since the pre-print article has an associated DOI number is citable in publication but it has to be taken into account that is not peer-reviewed.

Asking
What's the advantage?

The big benefits of a preprint are that you obtain a quick credit about the work done and also obtain a citable source for your research. Nowadays even the NIH accept to cite preprints on their grant applications (see: http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/03/nih-enables-investigators-include-draft-preprints-grant-proposals). The second advantage is the immediate feedback that you can receive from the scientific community. A submitted article will be review by two or three experts in the field but a preprint can be read and discussed by anyone in the world with access to a computer. This feedback is usually public and promotes the debate about the data and the ideas published in the preprint. Finally, it gains a lot of visibility without waiting for the usually long time that takes to publish in an indexed journal. This allows you to promote your research easily and also obtain some citations since the first moment that the preprint is out on the web.

How will this impact potential copyrights and publishing regulations downstream?

The copyright of a preprint is an open Creative Commons Attribution License so the indexed Journal have no problems in the future when they accept and publish the paper on its final format.

Is the article online and citable, before it is peer-reviewed?

Yes, since the pre-print article has an associated DOI number is citable in publication but it has to be taken into account that is not peer-reviewed. Most of the big journals now admit pre-prints in their publication system without any problem if they have the format requested by the editor of the journal (see as example CellPress: http://crosstalk.cell.com/blog/lets-talk-about-preprint-servers). The preprint is not considered an indexed publication and usually attracts a lot of expectation from the scientific community leading towards more impact when it is published in the final journal.
