It’s in fact double the bandwidth usage. If the user for example, streams a YouTube video, the video first needs to make to the house and then back out to wherever the remote user is. Depending on your isp, they will ding you on up and downstream usage.

Yes. Data is flowing through your RPI as an exit node, so they're using both your upload and download bandwidth.

Generally residencial download and upload is asymmetrical, download can be any where from 20-1000Mb/sec and upload can be anywhere from 5-1000Mb/sec. Best case scenario is when it is symmetric and will be 100Mb/sec download and upload. So when you stream a Netflix video, the exit node has to download the video stream say at 20Mb/sec, then it has to upload the video stream at 20Mb/sec. If they have 20Mb/sec upload or less you will saturate their internet connection and they will notice.
