the above configures on-disk cache, the cache_mem directive sets up
in-memory cache.

squids periodically cleans its cache only to keep it as full as configured.

You can configure squid not to clean the cache and in such case it can
become "full", but there's usually no need for that.

see cache_replacement_policy and memory_replacement policy directives.

very hardly. squid has different lgorithms to remove data from cache, based
on how often were they accessed.
