Please tell me is it correct or I have made any mistake while installation? Also let me know the solution if I am wrong.

Answer 1

There is no problem with your installation, this is new since Magento 2.1 I think.

If that box is checked, the config value is taken from the module config.xml file corresponding to the system config section. In this case:

/vendor/magento/module-directory/etc/config.xml

See country default:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Store:etc/config.xsd">
<default>
