A web page that tells you what your browser gave away the moment you arrived. No login, no form, no permission. Most pages do this. None of them tell you.
The public IP is irrelevant, only shows the IP of the server used by your ISP, which can be at the other side of the country. It can maybe identify the ISP, but not the user, less if a dynamic changing IP is used. The public IP is always leaked if you don’t use a VPN or the TOR network.
Absolutely not, the public IP a website sees is your home IP. The resolved location will be inaccurate by design, but the IP definitely identifies you at that time.
Depending on your location it can actually be geolocated into your specific city block, I geolocated an online friend’s IP just for the hell of it (I already knew where they lived) and it spit back out the city block they lived in as well as a lot of other very identifiable information
Also, if you can ping devices on that network using that IP you can also use that as a way to easily identify users. That’s if they have anything that isn’t firewalled, obviously, but the point stands!

depends on the isp, my router has its own adress on the iternet
couple of friends have a different isp that layers it users behind multiple nats so half the city would show the same ip on a website
