Example: trade node with 10 provinces each having 10 development, so total 100 developement.

I have 5 of them for a total of 50 development. Lets say there are 2 trade centers and I own one of them.
I have 50% of the trade in the node.

Now following this example, lets say that everything stay the same with one exception: I increase the development of my provinces from 10 to 30 each. So now my 5 provinces have 150 development while the others I don't control have still 50 development.

My questions are:
1-Is my % of trade power in the node gonna be affected by it?
2-Is all development gonna affect it the same? (increasing tax or manpower base has the same effect than increasing production base)?

Disclaimer: I perfectly understand that my % of trade power in a node is affected by many factors. My question is only about if and eventually how much developing provinces affect the trade power in a regions

Yes to both. Only Production increases trade *value* (the size of the cake), but all increase trade *power* (your share of the cake). They increase base trade power, to be specific.
