If I click Save All without clicking Validate Settings, will the system validate the information that I entered?

No, only very minimal validation is done when you click Save All. The validity of connection information is not checked. You must click Validate Settings to check the connections.

Are any modifications in the system-level settings reflected in the current project-level settings?

No. The current project settings remain the same. Only new projects are affected.
