That ‘export’ means that child processes of this one (i.e., the shell in
which that command executed) will inherit that variable in their
environment.

Processes that are not children of this one, will not be affected.

Yes. Because that ‘python’ process is started from a process which has
that exported variable, that ‘python’ process inherits the variable in
its environment.

Were they started as child processes from the shell that is exporting
the variable?

See <URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#Unix_2> for
a discussion of how the process environment variables are inherited.
