Yes first you add a layer or select a layer that will be the target layer the function add the style to. In my Toolkig package I distribute Text Layer styles and Image Layer styles my script can use and a preferences script users can add styles for my scripts to use by editing the Phot Collage Toolkit preference script "PCTpreferences.jsx". The style list for the scripts pull down menus are set from it..

Yes the scriptlistener in newer version of Photoshop records some steps the only seem to work when you actually use Photoshop UI. I called these steps junk code. Tomas Šinkūnas the Programmer author os Clean SL.JSX was kind and added code That came remove this Junk from the listener log for me. His code is easy to modify if Additional junk stepe are added in the future you just need to add he new junk step name toe the junk array
junkArray: [
"stringIDToTypeID( \"convertJSONdescriptor\" );",
"stringIDToTypeID( \"invokeCommand\" );",
"stringIDToTypeID( \"modalHTMLPending\" );",
"stringIDToTypeID( \"modalStateChanged\" );",
"stringIDToTypeID( \"toggleSearch\" );",
"stringIDToTypeID( \"toolModalStateChanged\" );"
],
You see the name toolModalStateChanged in your log.... If you remove the code your log may work in a script.
About Layer styles. If you add a layer style many of the setting in an effect a drop shadow will depend on the documents resolution and size. Layer Styles add via the Layer Style Dialog will look different on different resolution document if you do not scale the settings for the current documents resolution. Photoshop also has a feature where Image Resize can scale styles and there is a menu item menu Layer>Layer Style>Scale
You can also add layer style via the Style Palette to add Layer Styles Saved by name into the style Palette. When you add these Photoshop seem to scale then automatically for the current documents resolution. Therefor, When I add Layer Styles in an Action or Script I normally will use the Style Palette method a name style. Here is a function made from Action manager coed to add a layer style by style name.
addStyle("StyleName");
function addStyle(Style){
var idASty = charIDToTypeID( "ASty" );
var desc20 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref3 = new ActionReference();
var idStyl = charIDToTypeID( "Styl" );
ref3.putName( idStyl, Style );
desc20.putReference( idnull, ref3 );
var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T " );
var ref4 = new ActionReference();
var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref4.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idTrgt );
desc20.putReference( idT, ref4 );
try{
executeAction( idASty, desc20, DialogModes.NO);
}catch(e){}
}
