Yes. You sign in on an app or the like. They will register that as interest.

Most don't even if indicated otherwise. Some privates also claim to care but really don't. It's all about rankings and your profile relative to those rankings. i.e. A 1500+ SAT kid doesn't really need to demo. interest for the schools to want them. A 1200 kid may not even get in with oodles of demonstrated interest.. GPA/ECs/LOR being good enough for the schools, of course.

Look at common data sets. It's different everywhere.

Do public universities care about demonstrated interest? I have a tour scheduled at one, but the other one would have to be done the next day which is a Saturday, so self-guided.
