GIF is a heavy way to store a picture by modern standards, and GIF to WebP is the usual fix for that on a web page. The same image comes back in a fraction of the space, ready for a browser to display.
Take this one first, because it is the thing people get caught by. WebP supports animation, but the conversion here reads a single frame, so a moving GIF arrives as a still picture. If the animation is the point of the file, leave it as a GIF.
Frequently a fraction of the original, sometimes dramatically so. GIF compression is nearly forty years old and WebP was built for exactly this job. The figures on each row tell you what your own images did rather than what an average image does.
WebP has no 256 colour limit, but your GIF already threw the rest away and no conversion brings them back. Banding in the source arrives unchanged. What you gain is room to edit without the ceiling, and a much smaller file. Transparency comes across too, though a hard edge in the GIF stays hard rather than softening.
A fraction of the weight
WebP describes the same still picture in far less space than GIF manages.
Displays on any page
Current browsers render WebP directly with no fallback image needed.
Transparent background held
A see through GIF background comes across into the WebP.

Not through this conversion. It produces one still frame, and animated WebP output needs a tool that handles frames.
WebP for a web page, since it is far lighter. PNG if you are about to edit the picture or hand it to desktop software.
Not noticeably. WebP compression is applied, and on an image already limited to 256 colours there is little for it to spoil.
Keep it if it animates, since the WebP does not. For a still image there is no reason to hold on to the original.
