Answer Area

The secrets in kv1 are available to CopyFiles@2.Yes
The connection string is recorded in the log file.No
The secrets in kv1 is available to AzureFunctionApp@2.Yes

Explanation

When an Azure Key Vault task is defined at the pipeline level (or before a stage/job), the secrets it retrieves are available as environment variables to all subsequent tasks within that scope, including both CopyFiles@2 and AzureFunctionApp@2. Azure Pipelines automatically masks secret values retrieved from Key Vault in log output, replacing them with '***', which means the connection string is NOT recorded in plain text in the log file - it is redacted/masked to prevent accidental exposure.
