Is it still sandbagging if you just wanted to lose on purpose for fun in an unrated game?

Yeah pretty much. Also why do you want to lose?

I'm a very curious person

Purpose of sandbagging is make your rating lower than your real strength. So, I guess it’s not sandbagging.

what if you're 1800 elo dummy and you make a new 400 elo dummy account, is it also sandbagging?

I don't think you are allowed to have a second account to play again you're first account anyways

If you are 1800 and start from 400 on a new account, you just play some games against random users outside tournaments until your rating stabilises at 1800 - it is ok

If you are 1800 and start from 400 on a new account, you begin to play in tournaments immediately, win a dozen of medals in a row while your rating is low - it is not ok

If you have an account with 1800 and create another one with 400, you begin to play in tournaments immediately, win a dozen of medals in a row while your rating is low, get banned, create another one with 400 and so on - it is might be a reason to call a doctor
