I was under the impression that on Android, Chromecasting typically doesn't send the actual video but rather asks the Chromecast to play locally, but I suppose this problem still exists then

It think it is the same with TV apps, totally killing app on phone doesn't do anything to the video already playing on TV.

This is correct.

It's also how it works with Airplay 2 on iOS now.

There isn't really a use case for wanting a higher resolution to cast it elsewhere.
