MacBook Time Machine Backup Local Snapshots

Before you peasant PC users euthanize me, this has nothing to do with purchasing a MacBook.  

 

I have a Mid 2015 MacBook Pro and a Mid 2014 MacBook Air.  I've been researching Time Machine and discovered Local Snapshots.  I understand that they're local backups so you can access previous "versions" of your OS.  I use a NAS to backup.  I have a few questions

 

So when you click Backup Now, does that first backup locally, then to the backup disk, or straight to the backup disk or....

 

​Also, when do local backups get pushed to the back up disk?

 

If I disable them, using the command sudo tmutil disable local that also deletes the local ones.  Do they not get pushed to the backup disk?
