Maybe yes, maybe no. Is the video data actually being requested and
transmitted over port 80 as an HTTP reply?

ICAP / eCAP body data handlers.

see above.
The handlers would be some third-party software only related to Squid by
the interface they share.
Normally the saving of files is up to your user agent (browser or other
retrieval tool).

On non-Windows OS flash videos are stored in the /tmp directory while
playing and can simply be copied from there.
