From `mutt --help`:
-d <level> log debugging output to ~/.muttdebug0
from mutt(1)
https://linux.die.net/man/1/mutt
-d level
If mutt was complied with +DEBUG log debugging output to ~/.muttdebug0. Level can range from 1-5 and effects verbosity. A value of 2 is recommended.

No, not in my understanding; anything that mutt tells you would go to
stdout / stderr / the terminal AFAIK.
