Can the time difference change on my travel date?
Both UTC offsets are compared at the same instant. Daylight saving can change the difference, so choose a date and time when planning a future trip.
What happens when daylight saving skips or repeats a local time?
A skipped daylight saving time is rejected. For a repeated time, choose its UTC offset. Current time depends on your device clock and browser time-zone data. Use an up-to-date browser.
The Seoul–Paris comparison uses Asia/Seoul and Europe/Paris. Do not apply this city comparison to an entire country.

Yes. Local calendar dates may differ while the arrival instant still follows departure. Keep local dates separate from elapsed time.
