I need advice on below case scenario.

My iphone have 16G of storage.

My i cloud have 50G of storage.

1) If i have fully max my iphone storage of 16G with pictures, will i still be able to take photos since i have extra 50G of icloud storage purchased ?

2) Can i transfer every 16G of pictures to my icloud and store it there and remove all photos on my iphone in order to get the 16G of storage back?

Need your expertise. Thanks

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

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.
