No. It's deleted by the MUA. The MTA never sees it.

No. Every Bcc: address generates an extra recipient. It doesn't affect
the To: header at all.

The addresses in the To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of the mail itself can
bear _no_ relation to the actual recipients of the mail. 

Any correlation you see is just a coincidence, often caused by the fact
that most mail clients will _infer_ recipients based on the To:, Cc: and
Bcc: headers. That's normal and intuitive behaviour but not mandatory.
The headers of the mail are purely cosmetic and largely irrelevant. You
should avoid using them for filtering.
