Questions don't have to be technical I only ask / hope they are well written. Also, preferably not asked multiple times.

No. The page numbers are fixed based on location within the file The font and text size have no bearing the the numbers. The design of the APNX is to provide page numbers that correspond to a printed book's pages. The do not look at or account for the screen size or how much text is visible on the screen at a given time.

No. I don't see a technical way to achieve this either. From what I know about the APNX file this is not a feature.

The goal of the APNX is to map to pages in a printed book. So the page numbered X will in the Kindle version will start with the same text as the corresponding print version at page X. No matter the font, text size or screen size.
That said Amazon is the only one with the necessary information to map to a print book. Calibre doesn't have that information so it tries (multiple ways) to make a page roughly the length of what you would have if you printed it the size of a paper back book.
