There are two markets for engineers: govt contracting/IT DOD/IT cap1/IT fannie which cap out at 120

Then they are small innovative offices at AWS, Google, Microsoft which are developing enterprise software that is primarily for govt but could be sorted to large companies -- these demand much more recent technology and pay 180

Yes, normal range, even without direct reports. Finding that skill set in DC is difficult.

Can you get cleared yourself or so you have to have sponsor agency?

No you cannot get cleared yourself. And the 180 cleared is only for an SME

not sure where you find 160K for senior software developer without clearance.

and just to be clear no one will name names for where those jobs are, but I can tell you Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Navy Federal will hire H1B senior software developers for 60 to 70K and we work them weekends also and we have more desperate to join

Depends on skills and whether the developer has a clearance

What does it mean here? What are responsibilities hours per week etc

Yes- that sounds average. Depends on experience and if it is government or corporate.

Sounds about right

Is $150K -160K the normal salary for Sr. Software Developer in this area?
