Can I be iron deficient with a normal haemoglobin?

Yes, and it's common. Stores empty before haemoglobin drops, so ferritin can be low while your blood count still reads fine.

I already take iron tablets. Should I stop before the test?

Ask your doctor. Recent supplements can push serum iron up and hide a deficiency, so some doctors want a short gap first.

Does this check vitamin B12?

Depends which anaemia package you pick. Check the tests listed above. The basic panel focuses on iron; the extended ones add B12 and folate.

How is this different from just doing a CBC?

A blood count tells you that you're anaemic. It doesn't tell you why. These panels add the iron, transport and marrow markers that identify the cause.

My periods are heavy. Is that the whole answer?

Often, yes. But if you're male, or postmenopausal, unexplained iron deficiency should be looked into properly for a source of slow blood loss.
