Yes, you can adjust the width of columns in a SharePoint modern list and save the changes so that they persist when you navigate away and return to the list later. Here's how to do it:
- Click on the settings icon (gear icon) in the top-right corner of the list page and select "List settings".
- Scroll down to the "Columns" section and click on the column you want to resize.
- Under the "Column settings" section, click on the "Column width" option.
- In the "Column width" dialog box, enter a value for the desired width of the column (in pixels) and click "OK".
- Click "Save" at the bottom of the list settings page to save your changes.
Once you've saved the column width changes, they should persist and be applied every time you access the list. If you're still having trouble, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page to ensure that the changes have been properly applied.

I'm not sure how you are seeing "Column width" for your fields. We are not seeing that in the Column Settings. However, you gave good directions on how to get to where you can add JSON formatting to the column. So, this is a partial answer.
