Ultimately admissions decisions are usually made by either the admissions committee or the head of graduate programs. There is likely some variation from one department/school to the next. Of course, professors are friends and talk to each other, and if there’s a student with whom some random professor wants to work who may be borderline, it is not uncommon for that professor to try to discuss that with whoever is handling admissions directly.

When describing projects, it’s usually fine to just put bullet points that sort of highlight the things you did/accomplished. Once you get farther along, even that may not be necessary, but for now, I’d say keep that stuff on there and just don’t go overboard.
