They suit different jobs. gpx.studio is best for quick browser edits and for nothing to install; TrailTrackr for Mac is best for deeper editing of recorded tracks in a native app.
Yes. Pick an activity when you start a track and each click is routed along OpenStreetMap roads and paths; Manual gives straight lines. Both apps can route, so choose on the editing tools and platform.
TrailTrackr for Mac edits files locally on your Mac. Only when you use automatic routing, the clicked coordinates and the chosen activity are sent to the public BRouter server; the GPX file itself is not. See gpx.studio's own site for how it handles your data.
