To sign "true," start by forming your dominant hand into a "1" handshape, with your index finger extended and pointing up. Place the side of your index finger gently against your lips. Then, move your hand straight forward away from your face in a single, firm motion. Keep your palm facing sideways (towards your non-dominant side) throughout the sign.

Yes! This exact same sign is frequently used to mean 'sure,' 'really,' 'certain,' or 'actual.' The context of your sentence and your facial expressions will help the person you are signing with understand which specific English concept you mean.
You should start with the side of your index finger resting gently against your lips, or just barely below them. Starting too low on the chin or throat can make the movement look like a completely different sign, so aim for the mouth area.
You should always use your dominant hand for this sign. If you are right-handed, use your right hand; if you are left-handed, use your left hand. The motion simply goes straight forward from your mouth regardless of which hand you use.
