What size should a LinkedIn profile picture be?

LinkedIn recommends at least 400 × 400 px. Pick 512 or 800 px here so the image stays sharp on high-density screens.

Will the circle stay transparent?

Yes. Leave 'Transparent corners' on and the exported PNG has real transparency outside the circle, so it sits cleanly on any background.

Why do the small previews matter?

Most platforms show your avatar at 24-48 px in comments and lists. If your face is not readable at that size, zoom in until it is.
