So, Re #1
This is not a file-based application. Because it is a database application, every time you save your changes on a Tab, it is committed to the database and there is no need for an additional "Save" function. For the same reason, there is no "Save As.. ", because the only file is the entire database file with all Realms in one.
Syncing is not "saving".. it is 'publishing" your changes to the Server. If your players have Player account access to your Realm, they can use Sync from their side to "pull" any changes you have "published". Other than that, some people consider syncing to the Server to be a good way to "back up" their Realms... but it is not the only backup, as the application has a tool for making a local backup. Its other use is to allow you, the GM, to work on it from multiple machines (though only one at a time) where you have RW installed. You can always pull your latest version from the Server if you sync it after each change; however, if you don't sync and make changes on more than one machine, one version will eventually have to be discarded.
All that said, you never HAVE to sync. You can go on with local backups for months or years working away on your copy. If you are not planning to have your players access a Realm on their own, you never HAVE to sync it.
