What are your goals (you mentioned BL but is this your only focus? Exit opportunities?) to include region and potential for portability, and is the ED program binding?
No. Deposit just saves your seat in that school. Not binding whatsoever. If you have multiple deposits down and make a final decision, be sure to tell the other schools immediately so they have time to fill your seat.

Their binding ED isn't even closed until Dec 1, priority Reg D is April 1, so you have plenty of time, according to their website:

It just means you have to accept ASU's offer if they accept you. You are bound and cannot go anywhere else. Binding usually helps a little if you are below the means.
Your acceptance/deposit is not a binding commitment to attend. You are free to pull out but just typically lose the deposit. Usually recommended you don't hold out banking on a WL pull.
Read the fine script comment because it depends on the school. Most of them allow you to do this but some stipulate that if you deposit with them they consider that to be binding.
