Roof anchor = leaky roof?
HD and Lowes sell roofing safety harness kits that include an a roof anchor which requires removing shingles to install. If I leave the anchor in place permanently am I asking for a leak, considering that here in Western Oregon we get about 100 meters of rain per year? Maybe if I use a bunch of Henry's gooey black roof sealant it'll be ok?
I've got a steep roof and trees that leave sticky residue on the roof even after trimming, so I need to safely access the roof pretty often. Thank you.

If you seal it up with a good caulk like polyurethane not roof cement under and on top it should be fine. Heres some other alternatives.

Yes you should be able to see the truss through the plywood joint at the ridge. If not the nails in the wood will be on a truss. Plus you can tell when a nail hits the truss vs just plywood.
