How intricate/detailed is sign language, especially where inflection and sarcasm are concerned? Do those exist?

Yes, lots of what you’re asking about is conveyed through non-manual markers (manual = hand here) or NMMs in ASL. Grammar and tone are often spatial.
Sign languages are languages and so have all the linguistic features you’d expect in English. IMO ASL is more complex, but it’s my 3rd language so order of learning could play in.
