<p>Yes, when you make transactions, your transactions are broadcast to other nodes, and then the entire network. Your node will surely have the transaction in memory pool / blockchain, as long as your Bitcoin Core is fully synced. But it'll only appear on the history tab if at least one of the inputs of the transaction was held in a private key that computer A has.</p>

<p>There's no way understand if you're using Bitcoin Qt (I don't know if there's a full node client that does that) - it doesn't log if it created the transaction, or it received the transaction from a node.</p>

<p>You can use web clients, for example GreenAddress. They log when you logged in with your IP address and time. Then you can try to find which computer it is by inspecting its IP address and date and time.</p>

Yes, when you make transactions, your transactions are broadcast to other nodes, and then the entire network. Your node will surely have the transaction in memory pool / blockchain, as long as your Bitcoin Core is fully synced.

There's no way understand if you're using Bitcoin Qt (I don't know if there's a full node client that does that) - it doesn't log if it created the transaction, or it received the transaction from a node.

You can use web clients, for example GreenAddress. They log when you logged in with your IP address and time. Then you can try to find which computer it is by inspecting its IP address and date and time.
