Every time I see this I wonder how easy it would be for me to get around this. I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem with a boogie board (depending on how strong the current is), but there must be border guards there to stop you. If you never set foot on land and go back to the other side is it an issue?

Easy enough to do physically, but slower than using a rope and climbing over. And you'd be crossing at one the most monitored spots.

No because assuming that wall is the border so many feet of water is still the territory of that country.
