1. Does using the OBD void the dealer warranty? Legally yes you do void the warranty but in most of europe and US it appears they can only void the part you have touched, for example if you re configured your radio they still have to sort out engine problems. In general it is very unusual for dealers to do this but it does happen a fair amount (based on post's on web) but I would never tell a dealer you have made changes.
2. Can I mess up the car using long coding?
IMO Yes
2a. If yes above Is there a way to back up the car initials settijgs in the event I screw up bad and able to restore that back up?
Do a full backup before you start touching your car that way you have a start point. You can copy and paste long coding easily to revert settings however you have to manually change all Adaptions back to original state there is no restore facility.
Also all changes you make are stored in history so you so you can revert by undoing the changes you made.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER USE RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS in BASIC SETTINGS it will cause you pain.

Can the dealer tell I flashed the car? I don’t mean they see I did video in motion but when diagnose my car will they see a log that I flashed?

I do not know but I would expect they can if they could be bothered to look.
Make sure you set your workshop number to a proper garage at least then any changes recorded will not hold the OBD11 Device code.

no idea, as i dont worry about warranty as my car has always been obviously modified.
For testing purposes I have always used Dealership number that can be found in Advanced identification
