Yes, you can also verify with a block explorer before it's done syncing.

If you have the private key you can use different wallet software that will let you import the private key, and then submit a transaction that way. You don't have to run a full node to make transactions.

you will need to do your own research and select a wallet that you trust, this site isn't really for software recommendations.

The blockchain should finish syncing, if it doesn't you can post another question.

An **output** is the spending part of a transaction, that establishes ownership of the funds. **UTXO** is an unspent transaction output. UTXO to your address are counted toward your balance. When you want to send Bitcoin, a UTXO is needed as an **input** to the transaction.

It is likely that if your node is syncing from scratch it doesnt know about the UTXO related to your address, yet. If it hasn't processed the block that contains the UTXO, it might not know about it, so it doesn't know you have a balance. If you use the Bitcoin core wallet, there is a wallet database that stores that data.
