1. IF you remove files from your iCloud drive and you use CMD+shift+v to just move the files to somwwhere else on your drive, of course, they stay on your drive. However, if you just simply delete files from your iCloud drive, they also are gone from your physical drive. This is predicated on the assumption that the only copies you have reside in your iCloud drive. At least, that's the way I understand it. 2. If the only copies of files you have are resident on the shared space between your iCloud drive and your hard drive, and you delete them, yes, they go from your hard drive also.
