Congrats and welcome!
Certainly looks lowered to me. It *could* be an optical illusion from the photo angles, though?
If you go 19s, you'll definitely want to go with a non-RFT (you'll probably want to avoid runflats even at 18") as the ride has been widely categorized as "punishing" with 19s and RFTs. I would *not* go staggered, but that's personal opinion. The AWD isn't rear-biased enough to justify it, IMO. Plus, assuming you go with directional summer tires, you can't even rotate front to rear if you go staggered.
As far as tunes go - if it's got a JB4, you'll be able to see the box/device under the hood. If it's a Dinan or other ECU reflash, I can't help you there - probably no good way to tell.
I'd ask the dealer if they have any contact info for the guy who traded it in - he'll be able to tell you all you want to know. Or, if there is an independent shop/tuner that's listed as doing any of the maintenance on the Carfax, you could hit them up. I got good history on a Golf R I was shopping that way.
Enjoy the new whip!
