Does a bigger down payment percentage always mean a smaller loan?

Yes — the loan amount is simply the home price minus the down payment, so raising the down-payment percentage directly shrinks the amount you need to finance.

Are closing costs included in the down payment shown here?

No — this calculates the down payment itself; closing costs, which typically also need to be paid upfront, are a separate expense on top of it.
