It depends on how much off. Even cheap digital scales are fairly
accurate. If you use one, make sure it's on a level surface. One scale I
had was inconsistent until I realized that it was sitting on the
junction where one arm of the L-shaped worktop met the other and there
was a slight warp in the substrate. I occasionally check my newer one
with Canadian dollar coins (loonies) the original ones which weigh 7 grams.

Yes!
For your pizza base recipe, follow it but be prepared to add a bit more
water. I have found that wetter doughs make a better crust. If you can
find it, use Italian "00" flour that's even better.
