They usually don’t visit an FFL during a trace. They just call and ask for the information.
When an FFL goes out of business the bound book gets sent to the ATF. It is against the law to enter the information into a registry of gun owners, but my agent told me that the bound books get scanned to make it easier to do traces that involve former FFLs.
Individual states sometimes do create registries.
Nothing in the NICS request links anything other than an interest in firearms to your identity. No firearm data is part of the request.
