A, yes. B, no. If you donate to a charity via a checkout, they can’t claim that donation to deduct from their tax liability. You can, but the store count. If bill gates wanted to donate a billion dollars at the check out then he could write that off, not Kroger.
A business offering the donation at checkout doesn’t get to use your donation as a tax write off. You actually get to do that (though it’s unlikely you would get past the minimum deduction)
Bill Gates doing philanthropic work is the same as you donating through the grocery store.

Why would he do it at the Kroger checkout instead of pf donating it straight through one of his subsidiaries?
You are conflating these concepts.
