What's the difference between 'trim' and 'collapse extra spaces'?

Trim only removes whitespace from the very start and end of the text; collapsing extra spaces also fixes multiple spaces and blank lines within the text itself.

Will 'remove all whitespace' affect word spacing?

Yes, that mode removes every space, tab, and newline character, joining all words together — use it only when you specifically need a whitespace-free string.
