I have seen that often but they're usually supervisors or dual-rates recording average wagers of each player and double-checking payouts to ensure no mispays occur. This is typical for poor countries where labor is cheap. At one such place I sometimes have 10 staff watching my table like a dealer, back-up dealer, supervisors, manager, security guard, two junket operators, and two cocktail waitresses, and I wouldn't even consider it sweaty.
The best way to determine the house rules is simply to play and test their boundaries. I often get strange looks for trying to double on three cards, surrendering before dealer can check for blackjack, and trying to surrender on multiple cards, except for the rare times it is allowed. Also pay attention to the plays other players are allowed to make. At one casino I couldn't explain my intention to surrender because I don't speak French so I incorrectly assumed it was no surrender until I saw all players surrender against ace (this wasn't in France btw). I also make usually incorrect doubles and splits with small bets out to test for ENHC.
You should try to move the rules screen to directly in front of the shoe! lol
