Does this blur only part of the image, like a face or background?

No — this applies a uniform blur across the whole image. Selective/region blurring isn't supported yet.

Is the blur applied in the actual downloaded file?

Yes — the preview is a quick CSS effect, but clicking "Apply blur" renders the blur into the actual pixels of the file you download.
