Yes — each pair uses the standard internationally defined conversion factor (e.g. 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly, 1 mile = 1.609344 km exactly), not a rounded rule of thumb. The numbers shown are just rounded for display.
US gallon — the more commonly searched unit globally. A UK/imperial gallon is bigger (4.546 litres vs. 3.785 litres for a US gallon), so if you're converting against a UK source, double-check which one it means.
Yes, in any of the five pairs — type a number on either side and the other side updates instantly. There's no separate "convert" button.
No. Every conversion is plain arithmetic that runs in your browser — nothing is saved between visits and nothing is transmitted anywhere.
