Thunderbolt only received very old emails

Hello I just downloaded Thunderbird but fear I may have batched my email transfer from my gmail account. I started clicking around my archive before letting all the emails get received and it might have messed something up.

I see that Thunderbird successfully received my emails before 12/15/2011 but it stopped there. How do I get it to receive all my other emails from the past 10+ years?

Secondly, when an email is in Thunderbird, does that mean its safely downloaded onto my comp and I can delete from my gmail? Or do I need to download the emails from Thunderbird into some kind of file format?

Thank you very much -Weston
