Electrum wallet access re-instatement, restore

Hello,
Here is a situation:
Computer #1:
- Electrum wallet - password has been lost
- I have a seed phrase which I believe, but not 100% sure, is for the same Electrum wallet
Computer #2:
- I restored an Electrum wallet using the above mentioned seed phrase
Questions:
1. Assuming that I did restore the same wallet that's on Computer#1, does the wallet restored on Computer#2 contain 100% of the assets which are in the wallet on Computer#1? If yes, then I don't need to engage into the breaking of the password using for example JohnTheRipper.
2. Except when the wallets are different, i.e. with different seeds, are there any situations when the restored wallet(using a seed) and its version before the restore would be out of sync?
3. What wallet actions besides the transactions (buy/sell, send/receive, etc.) can change the wallet file's last modified date/time?
I would appreciate a helpful info or pointers to useful resources on the above situation. The assets in this wallet are worth a significant $ amount which I would not want to lose.
thanks
