Please note that there are many reasons why a proxy may close a
connection. For pinned to-server connections (like those created by
SslBump), it may not be possible to open a new to-server connection so
Squid should close both from-client and to-server connections.

In general, a client should not rely on a connections staying persistent
except in some very unusual/special circumstances.

Virtually none. Caching decisions are done primarily based on request
and response headers.

Squid will deliver a response from the cache when HTTP rules and Squid
configuration allow a hit. The details are too complex to document here.

Bumping step should not affect connection persistence AFAICT. I do not
know why it does in your case. This could be a Squid bug or a
misunderstanding. If you can reproduce, Squid logs should contain
reasons for each connection closure (but it may be difficult to find).
