A1. No. Apple and Google are two complete separate entities.

No. As mentioned above, Apple and Google are two complete separate entities. So, download all of iCloud first, and then perform the deletion. Use my user tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip
