Ok.  Now I see the arrangement.  You are missing a way for "local ssh
account" to receive information about any agent(s) it should have.
If you use ps you can probably see your main account running ssh-agent,
the system having launched it for you and managing the setting of the
appropriate environment variables.

You need a way for your "local ssh account" to start and use an agent.
I'm not sure of the optimal way for you.  Perhaps something in .bashrc?
Others here know more about the shells than I.

No, but the "local ssh account" instances need to share the ssh-agent
variables.  If you are logging in multiple times at the same time, you'd
want to share the same agent for that account until the last one logs out.
