Anytime you access a website you are revealing your IP address. This is not unique to nostr. You can mitigate this to a degree by using a VPN or accessing relays via Tor.

I would encourage reducing the number of apps you put your nsec/private key into. Make use of NIP07 browser extension and apps like Amber and Nsec Bunker to facilitate key abstraction.

Absolutely. It works like a bitcoin hardware wallet.

The signing happens in the extension and the random Web app never sees your private key... Just signed events.

You mean login website using direct private key is dangerous instead of useing a web extension safeguard my private key!

Can you please tell me some best web extensions name!
