The browser decodes it locally and shows the first frame, with the true pixel size of your footage in the readout.

PNG is pixel perfect and bigger, ideal for thumbnails you will edit further. JPG is smaller and right for sharing as is.
The full resolution of the video itself. A 1080p video gives you a 1920 by 1080 image, and 4K footage gives you a 3840 by 2160 image. It is a true frame export, not a screenshot of the player.
PNG if you are going to edit the image afterwards, put text on it, or use it as a thumbnail source: it is lossless. JPG if you just want to share the moment and prefer a smaller file. For a YouTube thumbnail, start from PNG and export the final design under 2 MB.

No. Your browser decodes the file locally and the frame is captured on your own machine. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the only file created is the image you save.
The browser has to be able to decode the video, and a few codecs are not supported everywhere. MP4, MOV, and WebM are safe nearly everywhere. If a file refuses to load, convert it to MP4 first with the converter tools here.
