If you checked right after water change, you may have false readings. Allow at least 6-8 hours (I do 12) before checking
Numbers you have are acceptable- just be sure they are true readings

Yeah, you’re probably right. I’ll check again tomorrow.

theoretically, salinity shouldn’t spike if I mixed it thoroughly, right?

If the salt is mixed according to the manufactures specs (time) then depending on your return pump (tank turnover) is how long the new and old take to mix together.
