If I add an authenticated WebService call to a survey’s survey flow, is the API key exposed to the client’s browser?

Also, in workflows, it’s possible to add an authenticated WebService task so that the key is not exposed in plain text in the Qualtrics dashboard. Is that possible for survey flow WebService calls?

To answer you first question: No, the API key is not exposed to the client's browser when you add an authenticated Web Service call to a survey’s survey flow. The Web Service call is made server-side, meaning the API key and other sensitive information are kept secure and not visible to the client.
