Is it safe to paste a document from somewhere else?

Yes. Every piece of text is escaped before rendering, so HTML or a script tag inside the Markdown is displayed as the characters that were typed rather than run. On top of that, the preview is drawn inside a frame with no script permission at all, so there are two independent reasons a pasted document cannot execute anything. Links to javascript: targets are stripped of their destination.

Does my document get uploaded?

No. Parsing and rendering both happen in your browser tab. The document is never sent anywhere, there is no account, and closing the page discards it.

What is the difference between this and the Markdown formatter?

The previewer shows you the finished document, for reading and reviewing. The formatter rewrites the Markdown source into a consistent style, for committing to a repository. Use the previewer to check how something reads, and the formatter to tidy how it is written.
