1) No
2) No
3) Mine shows as Google Inc. Probably thats enough to show that you have a dud. I hope you purchased from an official store that has warranty.
I just re-read your initial problem and realized i've also got the same problem with the directory structure. Frigate timezone is correct but the directory names are set to GMT. i think.

I recommend using vscode over notepad++
and following from the documentation:
VSCode Configuration Schema
VSCode (and VSCode addon) supports the JSON schemas which will automatically validate the config. This can be added by adding # yaml-language-server: $schema=http://frigate_host:5000/api/config/schema.json to the top of the config file. frigate_host being the IP address of Frigate or ccab4aaf-frigate if running in the addon.
I had a blackout the other day and I don't think my m2. coral and/or adaptor survived. Coral crashes the whole server after a couple of minutes causing a server reboot. This is after months of uptime.
Fortunately I have a spare USB coral to use. Probably just order another adaptor to see exactly where the problem is.
I think you need to read the documentation. The installation steps point out pretty clearly how to create the config.yml and what is needed in it. I am not sure what configuration options you are expecting on a FOSS project. Given the target demograph of Frigate is the HA community they would usually already be well versed in YAML.
Hey, if I can get it to work, anyone can.
