iCloud photos
Does deleting photos from Recently Deleted on my iPad also permanently delete them from iCloud? If so, how do I store photos in iCloud but remove them from my device to make more space (like I do with movies and apps)?

Yes.
iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.

How important is it that these photos are accessible within the Photos apps itself? You could export the photos from the Photos app and store them in iCloud Drive as files. Then they will behave just like other iCloud Drive files. If you don't access them, they will be evicted and live only in iCloud unless you open them.
