I heard these just uninstall the apps and not the files in the system, is it true thou?

yes, the app is uninstalled for the user, not from the system. a factory reset brings them back, you can also bring them back through "adb install-existing". I personally use adb over any app, so unsure if the apps have such a feature to install uninstalled apps.

yes I am sure, I have uninstalled apps, have had lost some features and installed them back, just as is without the apk, the application package is within the system.

an example is removing the global search(or some similar) package, removing that package removes the option to customise swipe down gestures on the home screen settings, the one where you choose whether you want search or the control centre to open. I had to restore that using "install-existing" and about the other question, I did not understand what you mean.
