1. Same as any other time you're using the VPN: your public IP is the VPN exit point regardless of how you got there.
2. Not really, I do it all the time. Other than services that are looking at all your devices at once (think Google Maps) whatever service you're using only sees the connection you're using to access it. You do get some weirdness from ad trackers though, e.g. ads for stuff in Hong Kong on your computer in Whereverstan because your phone has a HK IP address.

I wanted to just get eSIM like Airalo or even Tello, but quick Google suggests that on Alaska I should go with AT&T.
I saw couple eSIM providers that explicitly uses AT&T (RedTeaMobile, BNESIM, Nomad), are they good to go?
What would you use?
Last time I used Airalo in the U.S. their carrier roamed on AT&T. 3HK will also work--they have roaming agreements with both AT&T and T-Mobile.
