It’s on your arm not your leg so how does it actually know how many steps you’re taking? And do things like how fast you walk and how long your stride is make a difference?

They use an accelerometer. When your foot hits the floor, there is a spike of deceleration and this is counted as a ‘step.’
Generally it won’t make a difference how fast you walk or how long your stride is. If you walk so slowly/smoothly that there’s no significant deceleration though, it won’t count them.
