Yes your right. I happen to have a book with a single word in the text. The plugin counts one (both methods!) but the editor shows 141. It is also counting the words in the NCX and title tags in each of the files. I suppose it makes sense for the editor as it is running the spelling check on all of these. The plugin doesn't touch these, only the words with the body tags.

I often remove description, subjects etc from the content.opf (with Sigil) before I use calibre's spell checker, why calibre's spell-checker and not Sigil's - because it's multi-lingual.
Yes, I like the multilingual spelling. I will sometimes add the lang attribute to a tag to reduce the spelling errors shown when there is non-English dialog.

I would prefer that the content.opf file not be included in the PI's calculations. I'd also quite like some front and back matter to be excluded, but that's a much bigger ask.
No, the plugin is looking at the text of the book, not the OPF or any of the metadata objects. Excluding the front and back matter would be good, but trying to decide what is back and front matter is not something I am very interested in doing.
