The private windows in Firefox Preview behaves exactly like Firefox Focus. You can open links by default in a private window in settings.

I'm not sure if this means that Focus will be deprecated in favour of Preview, or will it remain a stripped down version of Preview.

Exactly like?

I'm under the impression Firefox Focus on Android uses the native (Chrome) renderer, not the the Gecko engine.

That was accurate until Focus v6. Since then, Focus switched to GeckoView, which is somehow different than Gecko, though I don't know how.
