AsI understand it someone is paying for me to use this so should I try to limit my time here to keep their costs down? Should I avoid leaving it open casually? Is there a way to support instances that I enjoy?

What does this mean? If I’m on a small instance will I still see the same posts if I filter by All as of I’m on a big community?
You’ll see content from any community that a member of your instance is subscribed to. So on very small instances that haven’t yet “discovered” other communities, the All page will be sparse.
Keeping in mind that an instance is the specific server you’re on, and a community is equivalent to a subreddit:
If you’re on a small instance, then you’ll be able to see all the posts from any community you join as if you’re on the bigger instance. The local “All” will show all the posts from any community anyone has subscribed to on your instance.
On my instance, I’ve got posts from communities on many different instances.
No. Go subscribe to things.
