Your modifications are much more likely to affect your warranty than how you drive during break in.

Two different boxes. The 5-6 seconds of crash data is held in the airbag deployment module, upon deployment. Try to crash gently to avoid detection.
The engine ECU on the other hand can log quite a bit of info. Whether it does of not is a different matter. It certainly logs emission related failures.
Manufacturer recommended run in procedures are essential for long engine life. Incorrect procedures will, not may, will, show up at some point as the result of using incorrect procedures as excessive and premature ring wear if too much throttle and rpm are used and glazed badly seated or broken rings if too little throttle or rpm are used. Every badly run in engine will suffer these failures, every single one of them. Whether you still own the car at that point is the only variable.
