About time zones

The world has 24 standard time zones, plus a handful of half-hour and quarter-hour offsets (India at +5:30, Nepal at +5:45, parts of Australia at +9:30, etc.). Most zones are defined relative to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), which replaced GMT as the international time standard in 1972.

Yes. The calculator uses each zone's current UTC offset, which already accounts for DST where applicable (US, EU, Australia). Some zones don't observe DST (India, Japan, China, most of Asia and Africa).
IST (Indian Standard Time) is UTC+5:30. PST (Pacific Standard Time) is UTC−8 in winter, PDT is UTC−7 in summer. So IST is 12.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of California depending on the time of year.
Almost always due to Daylight Saving Time. The US shifts on the second Sunday of March (spring forward) and the first Sunday of November (fall back). Europe shifts a few weeks later. The calculator uses live UTC offsets to avoid this.
