Someone stole my I-phone and I almost lost my new one but I had my name tag on it and an honest person found it. Can I use the AirTag to find my phone or be alerted if I leave it in a grocery buggy and walk away? If so, how? null

No the AirTag does not have that feature.  For that you could use a Tile.  Using the AirTag by itself will not help you find your iPhone.  The AirTag is only a tracker.  If your lost iPhone supports the Find My app and you had the iPhone synced to iCloud you will need another Apple device such as an iMac, iPad or another iPhone to locate your missing iPhone.

If you have an older iPhone that does not support the Find My app, you can stick an AirTag to the back of the iPhone to track it.  But again you will need another Apple device to locate the AirTag if you loose it.

You can but if it’s a new iPhone it already can be set up to find it with another device so not really nessassry

You can enable time-sensitive notifications that let you know when you are a certain range away from your airtag. I personally like to use my apple watch to locate my phone. I can ping it and make it play a sound with the click of a button and know exactly where it is within seconds.

Yes if you click on that device you can hit notify when left behind and when it sees it’s no longer with you it will let you know.
