If you have only ever played online, what is the best way to get into in person tournaments? I only started learning chess during the pandemic, so I have never played IRL. What are the differences between online play and in person play? Do you feel like you play better online or in person? Is there anything I should be aware before attending a tournament (rules, etiquette, general advice?)
Do you have a certain technique to calculate? A technique that's quick and simpler than the meta.

Study your openings deeply.
Make detailed opening files, and dedicate yourself to understanding it. Once you understand an opening, memorization naturally follows

How can I get over 1700 OTB USCF
I was stuck at 1700 for a while as well.
Now is the level to seriously start reading chess books.
My Great Predecessors, Silman's Reassess Your Chess, Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual are must-reads

how do u become better at chess? Like what is the difference between me and an IM like you? (In calculation of course)
I calculate to the best of my ability escalating it everyday. But I've seem to reach a level where I cannot pursue any further in my Chess strength. Its like everyone at my level is doing the exact same learning at the exact same time...
Visualization is a key to chess. Practice chesstactics by using chesstempo, standard mode. Set the position on a real chessboard board, do not move pieces.
This causes you to force yourself to deeply think, thus sharpening your tactical vision
In other words, what is the most efficient way to surpass 2000 rating on Chess.com?
Depends on the gamemode.
If you're talking about blitz, I'd suggest you to use Chessbase to train your opening
