Gmail doesn't actually have folders on the servers. It attaches a label
or set of labels to each message. When you're looking at a folder in
Gmail, you're just looking at the messages on the server that have that
label. So for example, when you delete a message, the trash lavel gets
added to the message, so when you bring up the trash folder, you're
seeing all of the messages that have the trash label attached to it. Any
message that has the trash label will be deleted from the server in 30
days. This is nice if you accidentally deleted a message and want to get
it back.
The all folder just shows you every message on the server, so it'll
include messages with any label on them, such as the trash label. This
is handy if you're looking for a message and you don't know where you
filed it.
I can't answer your other questions since I'm OK with just letting
Google clean up my messages after 30 days or so.

I'm writing these questions for a friend.
She has a gMail account. In her important mail folder and her allmail
folder she has messages going in there that she has deleted. From her in
box folder. How can she stop those messages that she has deleted from going
into those folders. The sent messages that she has sent to other people are
also going into those folders. She would prefer that her sent messages just
go into her sent message folder rather than those other folders. She would
like all mail she has deleted from her in box to be deleted from the server.
She is still in iOS 10 latest version using an iPhone 5 SE and the iPhone
7. She is a voice over user. Thank you for your assistance.
