"New item in 'screen time' I don't recognize: Thanks for your ideas [...]Not knowing at that point that the links sometimes create a group of tabs, I basically left it open in the background on Safari for hours overnight and into the next day. It must have something on the page that kept refreshing the whole time.

I'm still not accustomed to the displays and layout. Uggh!"

This might do the job then, if it is the layout that is getting in the way here.

"New item in 'screen time' I don't recognize: [...]I do not recognize it, and I did not connect to anything like that as far as I know. Maybe it has something to do with the news links I viewed? How can I safely investigate further? Is there something I should do to block it?"

No. I have not come across this.

Restoring to Factory Settings:

If you wanted to, you could restore your iPhone to factory settings, as if you were to sell it. All would be erased, the phone number would reside, and you'd log in anew to everything. Perform as instructed here, including the backup: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Do you have multiple devices using the same Apple ID? See the pic below which is self-explanatory.
