Firstly, the timestamp on the files will not be an issue. You mention a difference of 4 hours. The file timestamp will be UTC, your timezone will be four hours away from that. Though exactly what you will see depends on how you are looking at it and the relative timezones involved.

Annotations/highlights in epubs should not be affected by font size. They do not support highlighting over a screen/page break. So, you do need to change the font size to do that. If you use kepub, you can highlight across screens.

There shouldn't be any issues with annotations in epubs. I use them all the time to mark errors or things I want to look up later. There can be problems if the database has issues. But, you have tested that. The only other thing I can think of is if there are errors in the epub. Or the ToC has changed. The latter can happen if you replace the epub using calibre.
