Definitely not those are mainly found outside (there are hundreds in my garden). Even if it was they are not the dangerous beasts than a lot of the media claim they are.
This will be one of the house spiders of which there are a number of closely related species. All harmless unless you are a fly.1 -

No. The false widow is more compact with a shiny black body. Usually found outdoors and can give a nasty bite that will take a couple of weeks to heal

It should be easily identifiable by the shape of thorax and abdomen with the pale band around it.
I tried a bit but could take a long time.
Wait for Farway to come along with his AI skills 😉
I've noticed a number of different ones lately. We've lost all our song birds around me (they've moved away) because of the drought so I think spiders are thriving.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
