How do the email forwarding and mailboxes options interact?

If you have an individual forwarding and a mailbox for the same address they will both work as expected and you will receive the email in that mailbox and it will also forward on the email to the specified address (essentially two copies are received). A catchall email forwarding only comes into play if there are no mailboxes or individual forwardings for an address, so it never results in multiple copies of email being generated.
