Recently I've been noticing that whenever I watch a replay or auto of a map and then play myself, my shitty aim gets significantly better for like just 5-10 minutes. It doesn't even have to be the same map I watched the replay on. I really wonder why. Does anyone else get this too? Maybe its because I get inspired by the replays? lol

Watching replays makes you play better for a bit?

I don't see why that would be. It is probably just a psychological thing were you see it and go "I want to be able to do that" and then subconsciously try harder
It's the same for me 
if a map is just a bit too hard/fast for me, I just watch a professional player play like a really fast map. after that, my map seems sooooo sloooooww in comparison and I do much better on it that before. Idk how that works but it works

Idk how that works but it works It can possibly help by seeing how other people play tricky patterns that are hard to read/you have trouble executing but other than that it doesn't help.
Aside from a few things like techniques (e.g. snapping), you won't really learn much from watching a pro play since this is a physical skill-based game. You simply can't observe 'skill' and instantly apply it to your own, unlike strategy games (RTS/MOBA) where you can follow pro tactics for your advantage.
