If I click Remove the Downloads on a playlist that isn't based on an album, is it going to remove those individual tracks from my phone?

When would that ever be the behavior that someone wants? Actions on a playlist should be limited to that playlist, this is UX 101 stuff.

That depends on what you've chosen for the setting related to that. If you 'Add songs to library when adding playlist,' then no, the songs/albums remain. Otherwise, the playlist is your only view to that music, and so removing it removes your only view.

I believe the default is not to add songs to your library when adding a playlist, so deleting the playlist removes your view.
