Does converting GIF to AVIF lose quality?

AVIF is lossy by default, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. Raise the quality or switch on lossless in Settings for a closer copy.

Will the AVIF keep the transparent background?

Yes. AVIF supports smooth, partial transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

Will the animation be kept?

No. AVIF can’t hold animation, so an animated GIF is saved as its first frame.
