But surely it helps! It's a data base for all desired windows versions,
it's completed/refreshed every time you want.

Updateing is a cron job. Only not yet existing files are downloaded
during such a job, and they stay in the directory as long as Windows
looks for them - that's another way than staying in the squid cache.

No. Just take a try, for about some weeks. Microsoft has a fixed patch
day.

The squid cache deletes old files, because it's a cache.
By the way: my wsusoffline directory contains actually the updates for
Windows XP (32 bit), Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit), that's nearly 7
Gbyte. I wouldn't fill a cache with so much nearly static files.
Viele Gruesse!
