Yes, that's what I did in the test I demonstrated earlier.

They change a little bit.

If I do GE on the spam group, it can look like this:

 ((seen [...]
        (11842 . 11843)))

If I enter the group with M-1 RET, I see one article with a spam mark. I
then leave the group with q, and the last element of the seen list has
changed so that:

 ((seen [...]
        (11842 . 11844)))

Nope. It's just as Gnus created it, on a local file system.
