Drag a box over the part you want to keep and download just that. The picture is shown scaled down to fit your screen, but the crop is taken at full resolution — the box you drew is converted to real pixel coordinates first, so a 4000 pixel photo is cropped as a 4000 pixel photo. The selection size in real pixels is shown as you drag.

The pixels inside the box are copied across untouched, so nothing is scaled or resampled. Saving as JPG re-compresses them, which costs a little; PNG keeps every pixel exactly and produces a larger file. If you are cropping a JPG and will crop again later, PNG is the safer intermediate.
Because the picture on screen is not its real size. A photo from a phone is several thousand pixels wide and the screen shows it at perhaps eight hundred, so the box you drew has to be converted before anything is cut. Showing the real size as you drag makes that conversion visible — and it is the step that goes wrong in tools that crop the wrong area.
No — the last box replaces the previous one, because a crop produces one picture. If you need several pieces out of the same image, crop it repeatedly from the original rather than from each result, which would compound any quality loss.
It is dropped. The result is drawn onto a fresh canvas and encoded from there, so the GPS position, camera details and the embedded thumbnail do not come along. For a picture you are about to publish that is usually welcome; note the capture date from the original first if you need it.
