I'd probably be considered Gulf Southern since I grew up in Alabama, but I currently live in West Texas which is Southwestern. Probably a mix of both at this point.

I don't know what to say. There's a lot, they can be very different from one another and they say every village has it's own variations.

To varying degrees. It depends a lot on location, historical circumstances etc. For example, people speaking Styrian dialects have an easier time understanding people from the Pannonian dialect group and an Upper Carniolan would understand a Carinthian better than someone from the coast.
There is a common stereotype about people from Prekmurje (the far right yellow area) having an alien sounding dialect but there is also Resian (far left orange-pink striped area) which was isolated for a very long time and makes the Prekmurje dialect look like child's play. Both could be considered their own languages because they even have their own writing systems.
All in all, it can be very hard to understand someone depending on how distant their dialect is. That's why we have a literary language.

In Dalecarlia, there are several weird ass dialects which some people consider separate languages. The most well known one is Elfdalian:

In this video, it's spoken by the women.
My grandfathaer, who has lived in a village up there throughout most of his life, speaks a similar dialect (nåsmål). It's not as extreme as Elfdalian, but still pretty tricky for an outsider understand.

The easiest way to put it is that there are 4 main categories (North-Norwegian, Tröndersk, West-Norwegian and East-Norwegian), but every single town/city/village has their own dialect.
For example, Bergensk and Sognamål are both considered West-Norwegian dialects, but they sound nothing alike.
Pic related, it's how they say snow in the different dialects in mid-Norway/Tröndelag
