Answer 1

chrono::offset::Local uses "the standard time crate", so you can use that instead of chrono if you want.

UtcOffset::try_current_local_offset() should do what you need. Or try_local_offset_at() if you need the offset as it is, was or will be at a particular moment.

If you want something from std (or even core), I don't think it exists. At least not in a platform-independent way.
