The offensive line crouches when blocking more then standing straight up right?

Yes, but they can be stood up, and the defenders are always trying to block passing lanes and knock down passes. It does not matter how tall you are unless you are 6 foot 6+ you need throwing lanes.

Yes. How much is player dependant, but you can't execute anything athletically without a firm base which requires knee bend. Especially when you're trying to keep someone from pushing you over or back. So yes, lineman are effectively 'x' inches shorter when blocking. Probably pretty much cancelled out by the QB having to do the same thing to throw the ball to some degree
