I’m thinking of getting an iCloud plan and uploading my photos to my iCloud. I asked some questions about this and people were talking about photos deleting from your phone? If I upload my photos to my iCloud, will they delete from my photos app?

If you turn on Optimise iPhone Storage for photos then it will convert the photos on your phone to small thumbnail images rather than the full size photos. When you go to view the photos it will download and display the full size one.
It saves a lot of space obviously. Nothing is deleted in terms of pictures being gone. It’s supposedly quite seamless, though I haven’t tried it myself.

No!
But please please read this support article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108782
iCloud Photos works great, is simple to use, but one needs to understand the fundamentals.
