Traxler help..
Sort:
You got so focused on attacking you failed to notice that your opponent was setting up mate in 2. Take a deep breath and don't go crazy on the attack. Play the best moves not the most attacking ones.
First after Nxh8 on move 7 you play d5. If he takes (with pawn) then play Nd4 if with bishop then Bg4. Here its slightly better for white but not losing. Dm me for more detail.
Watch the vid since gotham does teach it well
move 7 was wrong, d5 was the move there
yes exactly lol

This is some of the theory, I tried some annotating but it's like you will have to remember it all as black has to play forced moves to get equality or advantage
Main ideas are Qf6 and retreating dark bishop, play Qd4 for mate threat in Kf1 line
No
it is a draw with best play
Engine evals the traxler wrong most of the time white is better by a bit but is a draw
