200 KB is a roomy limit for web uploads such as a profile picture, a document scan or a product photo. At this size most photos keep their look; what changes is mainly the pixel count of very large originals.
A 12-megapixel phone photo carries far more pixels than 200 KB can hold at good quality, so expect the tool to bring it down to something like a screen-sized picture. That is plenty for viewing on a screen but not for large prints, so keep the original if you will print it.
If your original is already a JPG just over 200 KB, the quality search finds a setting that fits with no visible difference to most people. The same applies to a screenshot saved as a JPG.
Compressing a JPG again always loses a little detail. Do it once, from your best original, rather than repeatedly compressing an already compressed copy.
Compress image is a DocPro Pro tool on the web. You can open it, choose your file and set every option without an account; the final step asks you to sign in to DocPro Pro (A$5.99/month after a 7-day free trial, cancel anytime). Free tools never ask.
For most photos, yes. Very large originals are scaled down first, which is fine for screen viewing.
The tool tries that first. It only reduces pixel size if lowering quality to its limit is still too big.
When the tool re-saves a photo through the browser, its metadata is normally dropped, but a file already under the target is kept as it is. For a guaranteed check use the Clean photo metadata tool, which shows what was removed.
