I've never seen anyone confuse tallow with lanolin (from Latin lāna 'wool', and oleum 'oil') hence the name 'wool fat' but there's a first time for everything

Lanolin comes from the sheep's fleece

Sodium Tallowgate can derive from plant or animal sources.

Tallow is rendered beef or mutton fat.

Or a town in County Waterford.

Neither is of plant origin

As others have said already MWF is not vegan friendly. The “wool fat” refers to lanolin which is indeed from the sheep's wool and is not technically fat, however it also contains tallow which is produced from animal fat. This is a byproduct of the meat industry and would otherwise go to waste. Much like with leather, no animal is killed for this, they're killed for the meat; leather and tallow are making use of the bits left over.
