A .7z file has to be opened by someone who has not installed 7-Zip, which is most people.
The archive is extracted and repacked using ZIP's Deflate, which every operating system can open without any additional software.
Expect the ZIP to be significantly larger, often by 20 to 40 percent. LZMA2 with a large dictionary is far stronger than Deflate, and Deflate's window is only 32 KB, so long-range repetition across files is not exploited at all.
LZMA2 uses a dictionary measured in megabytes, where Deflate uses 32 KB. It finds repetition across whole files that ZIP cannot see.
Yes, AES-256 in modern implementations, though the older ZipCrypto option is weak and should not be used.

ZIP Archive is lossless, so nothing is thrown away in the conversion.
Converted and deleted the moment it finishes. Never written to permanent storage.
