What is the difference between trim each line and trim start of text?

Trim each line removes spaces at both ends of every line. Trim start of text only removes whitespace at the very beginning of the whole block.

Does collapse inner spaces affect line breaks?

No. It only reduces runs of spaces and tabs within a line to a single space; line breaks are kept.

No. Trimming happens entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
