The 1-5 record is a 20.310 . If I got say a 20.430 or something, technically, the 20.310 guy is 1st but we would be tied.

I am planning to speedrun this game (once I have a better computer) and in the unlikely event that I or someone ties for first, and we are certain that it is the second barrier for the speedrun (say 1-5) would ms be added or would it stay as a tie?

good idea

Response to GameNerd607, Having to go out of your way to get moons that you normally wouldn't get in a normal Any% run can completely change a route. For example, The second sphynx moon in sand kingdom would mess up a route entirely. Like All Story Moons, It has a change that messes up a route.

I'm slightly confused, do you have to talk to all sphynxes or spot the sphynxes that give you moons. If so, would the treasure vault moon in sand kingdom count because it is behind the sphynx, not given directly. I think this would still be a good idea though. Yes

Weird things like fastest time to reach the height barrier or DLC runs.
