Answer 1

The browser will switch between using the two User Agent strings based on whether you are acting as a mobile browser of masquerading as the desktop browser.

User Agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 5_1_1 like Mac OS X; en-gb)
AppleWebKit/534.46.0 (KHTML, like Gecko)
CriOS/19.0.1084.60 Mobile/9B206 Safari/7534.48.3

User Agent after "Request desktop version":

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3)
AppleWebKit/534.53.11 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Version/5.1.3 Safari/534.53.10

This is only a hint to the web server about who the client is. The browser should render the received web content independently of the User Agent.
