Both formats support transparency, so see-through areas stay transparent.
Your HEIC is a still image, so the WEBP will also be a still image.
HEIC is lossy and WEBP is not. The conversion cannot bring back detail that HEIC already discarded, so the file can grow without looking better.
Expect a larger file with WEBP; it trades size for quality or features.
