Once you start playing the video can you completely shut off the phone and the video continues to play?

Yes, because you're just using the phone or tablet to instruct the Chromecast to go and get the video from the internet (the Chromecast must have an wifi good connection). The video does not stream through your phone or tablet.
The exception, is when you mirror a chrome tab on from your laptop/desktop computer to the Chromecast. You have to keep the tab open and running on your computer.
There are several videos on YouTube which will give you a good idea of how the Chromecast works.
