Hello You Wonderful You!,
It’s very hard to find official WordPress documentation about how exactly the Remember Me feature works on the /wp-login.php page.
I’m *NOT* a developer, but a quick call to Uncle Google has a bunch of links on the subject, the first of which has answers to your two questions above:
wp_set_auth_cookie: Sets the authentication cookies based on user ID.
wp_set_auth_cookie( int $user_id, bool $remember = false, bool|string $secure = '', string $token = '' )The $remember parameter increases the time that the cookie will be kept. The default the cookie is kept without remembering is two days. When $remember is set, the cookies will be kept for 14 days or two weeks.

Of course, not being a developer myself, I might have completely misunderstood your question (as I often do around here ?? )
