Is this wallet compromised?

Yes, compromised.

The best scenario for these, It's always you connected to some random website or you just interaction with a random unknown (Token/NFT). One thing you should learn, is never to interact with your wallet to some random website or token/NFTs you don't know.

If you want to use a wallet for interaction with the website. My advice try to created multipler wallet:
- Main Wallet (Stored Your Fund) but never connected to some website
- Your Alt Wallet (You can use these for interaction some token/NFTs or website).

In-case you got compromised. Your main wallet is not getting effected.

Yes, it could be either the wallet or the device itself where your wallet is installed has been compromised.

So, what you should do now is to move funds from that wallet if there is any, and don't deposit anything for the gas fee.

Wipe the device and install a new OS that is not pirated, or restore if it's the mobile device.

I actually interact with some sites that I'm not used to. I believe for obvious reasons I did not post here for  Analysis

You should be the one in that position to answer that question and of course your coin got stolen and nobody knows what happened so it's only that can flashed back to know where exactly you got your wallet compromised. As first poster already outlined you need to be very mindful and watchful especially in airdrops participation this is what mostly gets people wallet compromised, then another is storing your private keys in a place accessible by another user which I think is very risky because even though you make another new wallet today and still save it there same person would still have access to that wallet. So you must keep it off from friends and families to enable you have full control over your wallet.
