Does Wait Time Radar show live passport office lines?

The national State Department processing-time signal is official. Local acceptance-facility line waits are treated as planning estimates unless a stable official local feed exists.

What is the difference between a passport agency and acceptance facility?

Regional passport agencies are generally for urgent travel and require eligibility/appointment confirmation. Acceptance facilities handle routine application acceptance.

Should I use the official State Department site?

Yes. Wait Time Radar helps plan timing, but official eligibility, appointment, document, and processing rules must come from Travel.State.gov or the listed acceptance facility.
