If by "the GUI" you mean what you see in Configure Editor, these are
global defaults. Modelines, filetypes, etc. override the global
defaults. I'm not aware of a way to see what values are actually in
effect except indirectly (e.g. if pressing 'tab' adds two spaces, one
might surmise that indent-width is 2).

Indent settings and even HL are "objective" properties of a file. Color
schemes are not. Mode lines AFAIK don't cover color scheme customization
(nor IMHO should they).
