It does log CONNECT connections, but only when the connection is closed.
In addition access.log only ever shows the amount of data received, never
the amount of data sent. This applies to all uses of the proxy, not only
CONNECT.

It depends. Many https servers closes the connection quickly, but not all.

Squid has no say about this. It is all up to the browser and https server
how long they keep the connection open. To Squid there is just "random"
unstructured data flying in both directions between the browser and the
server.

It says that sasha received 18353 on this connection.
Is says nothing about how much data sasha sent to the requested server.
