Is the tip selection algorithm run only on full nodes?

It appears that running the tip selection algorithm on the tangle does not only require seeing a large part of it but also involves some computation effort that is not insignificant. This leads to the question if light nodes can delegate this effort…

If I increment the first tryte of Seed A to obtain Seed B, why does Seed B retain some of the spent addresses of Seed A in it's history?

According to this video when you take a Seed A (e.g. HIJK99) and increment the first tryte by one to obtain another Seed B (i.e. IIJK99), Seed B is associated to the transactions to Seed A.

When do nodes sync their subtangle with the neighbours?

Does this happen after every transaction? In discrete steps? Is it always synced with neighbours only, or is there some super tangle that it syncs with? Is that the case as long as the coordinator is up?

Could an IOTA wallet operate without seeds?

Virtually all existing IOTA software uses seeds for key/address generation. However, it seems that there's nothing stopping a program from generating keys/addresses at random — as long as it has the private key for an address, it can spend those…
