assuming you enabled mail access, it’s probably downloading some emails from your Google account. Unless it does that regardless of mail being enabled or not

The storage taken by #1 is not specifically related to iCloud Mail. It is the storage used by the Mail app on your device, including any cached / downloaded mail regardless of source.

Are you not using the Mail app?

#

You should not delete files in system folders directly.

#

In the case of Mail, if you’re not using the application, you should just remove the accounts from the app in settings
