Does the header separator row matter?

No. The | --- | --- | row (including alignment colons like :--: ) is detected and removed automatically, so it never appears in the CSV.

Are outer pipes required?

No. Tables with or without leading and trailing pipes both work, and escaped pipes written as \| inside a cell are kept as literal pipe characters.

How are commas inside cells handled?

Any cell containing the delimiter, a double quote or a line break is wrapped in double quotes and inner quotes are doubled, following RFC 4180.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
