Any ECU software can be detected if they really want to look.

A pre-cat delete plus decent custom Stage 1.5 map should see ~300+ of both on K04.

Anyone with VCDS can easily tell if you've tuned the ECU, as can VW with VAS.  If they can be bothered... In an expensive warranty claim, I'd say that would warrant being bothered, lol.

Why don't you ask you VW dealer what's covered (or what's not) if you mod your car? Some dealers are mod friendly and very understandable.

Get stage 1 map put on, you'll love it. When you get itchy feet, add a TBE and CAI and a stage 2 map then etc etc etc. Never seen any point in a bhp number but stage 2 sholud see 300+. If your car is a manual then you may also need to consider an uprated clutch too.

Phone around some dealers as some have tie ups with tuners

I am sure Towcester VW have a partnership with Richter who do super chips maps
