Compared to normal downshifting yes, compared to simple rev matching, no. It does save your synchros.

so heres another question, are you riding the clutch if you have it fully engaged and you give throttle, lets say i just engage it while parked and give gas, does it hamper the clutch in anyway?

Keeping the clutch from fully engaging (riding) will wear it out.

same goes to braking, turning, driving in general, will wear out everything on the car. The longer you stay on the clutch, the quicker it will wear out.

You have it backwards. Clutch to floor means disengage.
