it will adjust the pressure itself,

, but it should only ever be set by your tuner or whoever sets up the car to the correct pressure, as wrong doing will cause damage

As said used to fine tune pressure, on older non adjustable ones you could effect the same by squeezing in a vice to preload spring inside!!

Yes as delivery rate wil be different for same injector pulse.
If car chipped etc will have been checked for emissions anyway.
