Can I start from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set a starting number when this document is one part of a larger set, like the second half of a split report.

Does the file leave my device to get stamped?

No. pdf-lib draws the numbers into the page content in this tab; the only network request is the one that downloaded the page you're on.
