iCloud

In settings whenever it says “apps using iCloud” whenever you click on a certain app, does that mean it’s loading those apps on your iCloud storage or taking them off of it? In order for me to restart my phone and have all of my messages and app history on my iCloud back up, do I need all of them to be clicked green?

Green sliders means the apps are using storage in iCloud to sync/backup your data for that app there.

So if you add a Contact it should eventually show up on your computer automatically, being synced through iCloud. If you add a Reminder on your phone it won't.
