Are there CSS or other reasons why Safari/iPhone would ignore some font-size settings? On my particular website Safari on the iPhone renders some font-size:13px text larger than font-size:15px text. Does it maybe not support font-size on some elements?

You can increase or decrease just the font size of pages that you view in Safari on macOS Sierra. Safari will remember your settings until you clear your History. Or you can go to the View menu and hold down the Option key while you select Make Text Bigger or Make Text Smaller.
In the Settings app, scroll down to the list of apps and select Safari. On the Safari screen, scroll to the bottom and select Page Zoom. Listed at the top of the Page Zoom screen are websites you have previously adjusted the zoom on. You can edit the zoom level for those websites here if you wish.
Go to Settings > Display & Brightness, then select Text Size. Drag the slider to select the font size you want.
Joe's response has some good best practices in it, but I think the problem you're describing centers around the fact that Mobile Safari automatically scales text if it thinks the text will render too small. You can get around this with the CSS property -webkit-text-size-adjust. Here's a sample of how to apply this to your body, just for the iPhone:
@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px){
body{
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}
}
Use 100% instead of None.
