You bandwidth will be deducted for loading html, css and images that are saved on your server. Every other element, be it html, css, jquery, video or some other media that are hosted elsewhere won't affect your bandwidth.

The browser makes a separate http call to YouTube for the video. Same applies to external images and other media.

no . you pay for traffic on your site. no payment for streaming because it is not hosted on your site directly. its from YouTube
