Understanding the Channel Rate Tester

In the screenshot from the rate channel test that I have included below, I am confused on multiple levels, and I'm hoping that someone can explain how this works:

(1) What is the difference between the "live" and "expected" columns?

(2) I have set up two local taxes that are remitted by Airbnb on my behalf; I set them up on advice of the lovely people at OwnerRez. All the line items that show "remitted by Airbnb" were not set up by me, they appear to be system generated.  Does this mean I can (or should) delete these taxes for the Airbnb channel?

(3) The tax calculations between what I set up and what Airbnb generated are off by a non-considerable amount ($74.17 vs $78.96).  In the documentation it is noted that the taxes could be calculated differently OwnerRez and Airbnb, but that it would be a matter of pennies.  In fact, the difference is over 6%, which can add up.  I have set the taxes up to be calculated on rent only.  Any idea why the tally is off, and what can be done about it?  I'd hate to be spending an extra 6% on taxes on all my non-Airbnb bookings.

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.
