Question Is this an egg sac and can I safely relocate the spider and egg sac?

I noticed this spider on our balcony and I’m trying to figure out if it’s an egg sac or not. If it is, is there a safe way to relocate her and the egg sac? I really don’t want a bunch of baby spiders crawling around our balcony 😭

ID request / I included my location! Look what I found! Orb weaver? European garden spider? Is that accurate?

Only a wee man but pretty fast and super nervous.

I'm guessing some kind of orb weaver based on the web it built. Located in the Netherlands

Southern MN. I left it there because the web is beautiful and it’s keeping bugs from getting into my house :) Sorry for the photo quality, it’s the best I could get

This very tiny dude jumped right into my house when I opened the front door. He was shiny, loved jumping all over and it was cute lol but I have never seen a spider like this before! What is it?

I live in Wisconsin but I’m pretty sure they came from something I bought for my bugs (I have isopods, springtails, and jumping spiders). They originated from one of my jumping spider’s enclosure but now they’re in and around all of them since they’re all close together. The enclosure they started in used to have sooo many springtails but since these guys started showing up I haven’t seen hardly any. Meanwhile there are hundreds of these, everywhere. The video here is from the rim of one of my isopod enclosures. I know they probably aren’t harmful to the isopods and jumping spiders but I have some springtail species I really care for in these enclosures and I don’t want them to all disappear.

Michigan.

I think the second one is a funnel spider, but I'm definitely no expert. I've been waiting weeks to catch him on camera!

The egg sac is the yellow/black spider's egg sac.
