A photo is a 2dimensional thing. Those things are fixed in focus because that’s what the camera recorded. Has nothing to do with your eyesight. You just have to focus on the image. The image is already in focus for you.

The mirror is a more complex physics question I don’t totally understand. To do with reletive distance and light.
Ultimately I think it’s because it is a reflection of what you would normally see so if you would normally need glasses to see it, you’ll still need them because reletive to you, the light travels the same distance to reach your eye. But I can’t say for sure
