These answers are included in the visible page and its FAQ structured data.

No. Ticked achievements are saved only in this browser with localStorage. The tracker never reads or changes a Steam account, so compare it with your Steam achievement page before a completion run.

Install a non-default optic, damage part, muzzle, laser and extended magazine on the same eligible firearm. Check every attachment slot on one weapon rather than spreading parts across several guns.
