This question is easy to answer: during the course of the entire PR (about 70-72 hours), the movement amplitude will become continuously smaller, as for every mechanical watch, until your watch finally stops running. Many examples of such PR measurements are shown (graphs) and explained in this thread, mainly by Charles and saxo3 (me).

Nobody can answer that for you. The first systematic experiment, which you are currently conducting, will already give you a first indication.

Yes, but do NOT test it already now and do NOT vary 2 parameters at the same time. That is also the reason whyyou should keep dial up as your chosen rest position overnight. If you change to another rest position, it will most likely also be visible in your timekeeping, which you now measure with the WatchTracker app.
