Is the cropped content deleted?

No. Cropping sets the visible box, so the trimmed area is hidden rather than removed — which means the crop is fully reversible, but also that the file does not get smaller.

Can I crop different pages differently?

Not in one pass. Split the document, crop each part with its own margins, and merge it back together.

Set how much to take off each side and the crop applies to every page. The usual reasons are a scanner edge you want gone, or squeezing more of the text onto an e-reader screen.
