any difference between the 61W and 20W to charge a iphone 8 plus?
No. Additional wattage is useful for charging laptops or in chargers that have multiple ports. No more than 20 watts to a single PD USB-C helps with iPhones.
Can anyone more knowledgeable than I let me know how I can tell if this or another charger will drive a Nintendo Switch while docked? Would really rather not spend $30 on the official one, but understand if that's the only option.

I can't guarantee anything but I strongly suspect this will drive a docked switch.

You may want to do some research about bricked switches utilizing 3rd party devices when docked.

I believe that this might be more specific to the dock not regulating things properly. If using on an official dock, you should be fine. This is 100% conjecture on my part though.
From what I have read before getting a powerbank for the switch, you have to search carefully because the switch doesnt have the same power requirements for it to charge and play. Its got some weird combination of V and A thats not common so a battery or charger may charge it but might not supply enough power for it to charge and play if that makes sense.

Maximum IPhone 8 Plus can take is 18 watts, so no difference

I see that the input voltage for the dock is 15v, as reported here
https://www.inviolabs.c
And on this product page I see that one of the supported outputs is 15V@3A
So it all checks out to me, but the switch dock is finicky so again I can't guarantee anything.
Edit: Actually I searched "switch" on the product page and someone confirmed it works with a docked switch so I'd say you're good to go

Nope, will be about the same speed.
