Hi Navi, 1) It would depend on who is calling the method - ie a Watir::Element vs a PageObject::Element. Generally you would be working with PageObject::Element, so you would be calling the Page-Object version. The recent versions of Page-Object forward missing methods directly to the Watir browser/element, which has clouded things a bit. For finding elements you can technically call Watir methods directly, which returns Watir::Elements, which means you would get Watir's version of the method. If you want to double-check which version is being called, check the class of your caller.
2) Calling `element.exists?` will not do any waiting - neither Watir or Page-Object's timeouts will apply. The default_element_wait will only apply if you did page-object's #check_exists (returns true as soon as the element exists, otherwise returns false when the timeout has elapsed).
