Is this the one tool that uploads my file?

Yes. Converting to .docx needs a server, so this file is sent over an encrypted connection. The copy there is deleted as soon as the result is sent back, unless you are signed in and asked to keep it.

Can it convert a scanned PDF?

A scan has no text layer to convert, so what comes back is a document with pictures of pages in it rather than editable text.

Is there a size limit?

Yes. This tool alone has caps, because it runs on a server rather than in your browser; the limits are shown on the page.
