Yes. Pages containing redactions are rasterized and replaced with an image — the original text is gone from the PDF and cannot be recovered, copied, or extracted with text-extraction tools.
Yes. Each redacted page is converted to an image with the black rectangles burned in. Text on those pages is no longer searchable or selectable. Pages without redactions stay fully searchable.
Redacted pages are rendered as images at 2× scale (~144 DPI). Text on those pages will look slightly softer than the original vector text. Untouched pages stay pixel-perfect.
