Go to your uploads on your profile and delete anything you don’t want. Very helpful in case you upload anything sentitive by mistake (I remember an issue on github about this).

Is it true that everything I upload is hosted by the instance I’m on? I ask because that might mean that I should take care of not to upload NSFW even if it’s to an appropriate community on another instance.
Yes.
It’s handled by pict-rs, an image hosting server than runs next to lemmy, which lemmy interacts with. When you upload an image on lemmy it goes to pict-rs, and you get a link to that image which is then used for the post or comment.
You can use any other image host that provides a direct image link, as well.
It also worth noting that most instances will host cached thumbnail copies of the images in all posts, regardless of what instance is the main host, or even if using an external host entirely.
Yes, although you could host it on any service you wish and manually use the link
