yes
It is an equal area projection. that has less shape distortion near the equator and the poles compared to other equal area projections.
Map distortion is due to the fact that the earth's surface is curved but maps are flat. The more curved the surface that a map represents, the more distortion. For the same size map, one with a smaller scale encompasses a larger surface area of the earth when compared to one with a larger scale. Therefore, the one with a smaller scale will have more distortion.
A globe is the world as it appears from space, and is approximately ball shaped. This allows the countries of the whole world to be shown on a globe without distortion. On a flat map, distortion is unavoidable, especially if the scale is small and showing a large area. Peel an orange, and try to flatten on a flat surface, will prove that a map of the World can not avoid distortion.
distortion matters because the earth is round and it is impossible to show the earth on a flat surface without some distortion
yes
A small area map.
No, the properties inside the distortion would be consistent with universal values however the inter-relational values in the area of transition might be skewed.

The surface area pf the Earth is on a sphere, not a flat surface.

distortion of a size, shape, distance, or area occurs.
