Output from an old scanner or a Windows utility is a pile of bitmaps that has to be filed as one document.
Each bitmap is placed on a page sized to its aspect ratio and compressed on the way in, which is the single biggest change here: uncompressed BMP data would make an unusable PDF.
Raw BMP data would inflate the PDF enormously, so the image has to be compressed as it is embedded. A 6 MB bitmap becomes a few hundred kilobytes of JPEG in the page. For bitonal scans of text, that trade is worth checking at a high quality setting.
Yes, one page per bitmap, in the order you set.
BMP stores every pixel uncompressed. The PDF stores a compressed version of the same image.

Portable Document Format is lossy, so the quality control decides the trade between size and fidelity.
Instant, because the file never went anywhere. Nothing expires, since nothing was stored.
