How accurate is this?

Tithi and nakshatra are computed from mean lunar motion — accurate to a few hours. Sunrise/sunset uses the NOAA formula without atmospheric refraction, accurate to within a few minutes. For precise muhurta timing, consult a traditional panchanga.

Why does the tithi here differ from my paper patro?

Published patros use the actual moon position at a chosen reference moment (often sunrise). Our value is based on mean motion. A one-tithi offset near a tithi transition is normal.

Which city does the sunrise reflect?

Kathmandu (27.72° N, 85.32° E). For other cities in Nepal the time shifts by a few minutes east-west.
