I don't have all the answers, but here's my experience for what it's worth.
I had two SFEMGs on my arms and legs. They came back "borderline" and "mildly abnormal." Then the neuro sent me to an extra-special specialist, who did an SFEMG on my face, around my eyes. I have no noticeable symptoms in my eyes--no ptosis, no double vision, no face-droopiness. That third SFEMG came back so clearly abnormal that it got me a diagnosis.
The doctor who did it (a specialist in MG) said that it didn't matter that I didn't notice symptoms in those muscles. He also said that the results were severely abnormal, and not just mildly abnormal.

3) will the result of a sfEMG say something about the severity of the disease?
4) if they do an EMG on your nose or your eye, is this a sfEMG? Or can this also be a normal EMG?
I'm most interested in the first and last question.
Sorry for my abstract and uncosy way of asking, but else I just blab on and that's annoying
