Wyoming is also one of only nine US states with no state income tax — sales tax carries more of the load here than in most states, which is part of why the rate feels a bit more visible at checkout.
Like most states, Wyoming allows employers to pay tipped workers a lower base cash wage under a federal or state "tip credit," as long as tips bring total pay up to at least the regular minimum wage — which is part of why tipping culture is taken seriously in the US service industry.

No — Wyoming is one of nine US states with no state income tax. That doesn't directly affect your tip, but it's part of why sales tax tends to be a bigger, more visible line item on receipts here than in states that lean more on income tax.
No. This tool calculates the tip a customer leaves on a bill. A payroll or paycheck tip calculator is a different, employer-side tool for reporting tip income and calculating wages.
