If I have photos from my iphoto library and move them to trash and empty my trash, will they still be in my library of photos?

Yes, deleting photos from your iPhoto Library will not remove them from the Photos Library that has been created from the iPhoto Library, even if the identical photos in both libraries are stored efficiently by using hard links. The photos will remain in the other library, as long as they have not been deleted everywhere.
