The idle time is the last time the server got a message from the user.
as far as the server is concerned a bouncer *is* the user, and the
bouncer does not inform the server of every single connect or detach,
unless it does something like auto away. AFAIK `PING` and `PONG`
should not factor into idle time, but messages will

As far as I know anything other than `PING` and `PONG` will reset idle
time, this is IRCd dependent though.

An IRC server has no way to know if you read a message. And connecting
a client to a bouncer that is already connected shouldn't trigger the
bouncer to send any messages to the server. So no.

ZNC has an autoaway that sets and unsets away on connect/disconnect.
but otherwise yeah. unless there is some module configured to do that,
its not going to forward anything

Optional but first party, IIRC
