Is there a way I can use non-post content in this plugin?

Yes. You can use one of build-in filters:

To replace whole box:

add_filter( 'iworks_upprev_box', 'iworks_upprev_box_mycontent' );
 
function iworks_upprev_box_mycontent( $content )
{
    $value = '<div id="upprev_box">';
    $value .= '<h6>My own title</h6>';
    $value .= '<div class="upprev_excerpt">';
    $value .= '<h5>Lorem ipsum</h5>';
    $value .= '<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur ';
    $value .= 'adipiscing elit. Vestibulum auctor neque vitae orci ';
    $value .= 'ornare et vehicula eros molestie.</p>';
    $value .= '</div>';
    $value .= sprintf(
        '<a id="upprev_close" href="#" rel="close">%s</a>',
        __('Close', 'upprev')
    );
    $value .= '</div>';
    return $value;
}

Where to put this code?

There are three ways:

  1. made a one-file-plugin and put file into wp-content/plugins, then turn it on
  2. made a one-file-plugin and put file into wp-content/mu-plugins
  3. put this code into functions.php in current theme

I recommend using option 1 or 2, but 3 is the easiest.

How I can customize with my own styles?

Switch settings to Advance and go to ‘Other‘ tab to fill “Custom CSS” field.

Example:

/* header */
#upprev_box h6 a
{
    color: red;
}
/* header link: mouse over */
#upprev_box h6 a:hover
{
    color: black;
}
/* headera link: visited */
#upprev_box h6 a:visited
{
    color: gray;
}
/* container for title, thumbnail and excerpt */
#upprev_box .upprev_excerpt
{
    font-size: 8px;
}
/* excerpt */
#upprev_box .upprev_excerpt p
{
    line-height: 1em;
}
/* previous post link */
#upprev_box .upprev_excerpt p a
{
    text-transform: uppercase;
}
/* previous post link: mouse over */
#upprev_box .upprev_excerpt p a:hover
{
    text-decoration: underline;
}
/* previous post link: visited */
#upprev_box .upprev_excerpt p a:visited
{
    color: gray;
}
/* thumbnail image */
#upprev_box .upprev_thumb
{
    padding: 1px;
    border: 1px dotted red;
}
/* close button */
#upprev_close
{
    opacity: .7;
}
