I've noticed that my GPU is idling at 48 watts, which seems a bit high. It's an RTX 5050, and the temperature is around 54°C. My room temperature is about 26°C, and the air conditioning is on. Is this normal behavior for my GPU?

That doesn't sound right at all! You might want to check what applications are using your GPU. Nvidia has a tool in their settings to help with this, but I can't recall the exact steps. Could be a setting that's causing it to use more power than it should.
That's weird! Task Manager shows 0% GPU utilization, but MSI Afterburner indicates that memory and clock speeds are at max. Sounds like something might be off.
