Same size, same timing, still looping, at about a quarter of the bytes. A small GIF with a transparent background went to lossless WebP instead and kept its see-through pixels at 40% of the GIF's size.

No. The file is opened by the page and converted by ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, on your own machine. There is no upload step, and closing the tab discards everything.
In every current browser, so on any website, in most CMSs and in chat apps that render images from the web. Some email clients and older desktop apps do not show WebP, so keep the GIF for email.
Yes. The page checks the GIF first, and when it has see-through pixels it writes a lossless WebP, which keeps them exactly. That file is larger than a lossy one, though usually still smaller than the GIF.
Lossy, at the quality you pick, for a GIF with a solid background: that gives the smallest file, and Balanced is hard to tell from the source. Lossless for a GIF with transparency, so the see-through parts survive.
Yes. The WebP is written to loop forever, with the same frame timing as the GIF.
500 MB and 10 minutes. Everything runs inside one browser tab, which has a fixed memory budget, and the encoder runs on a single thread. A rewrap takes seconds; a full re-encode runs at about real time for 720p and several times the clip length for 1080p. For anything bigger, a desktop encoder such as HandBrake is the better tool.
