Answer 1

The narrator is removed from the story and gives details about all the characters.

An omniscient point of view enables the narrator to access all the thoughts and ideas of all the characters. The narrator, as an omniscient narrator, even knows some things that other characters do not know.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: The narrator is removed from the story and gives details about all the characters.

In omniscient narration, the narrator is not a part of characters in the story, and the narrator is someone that know all things that happen in the story even its smaller details, including what happened in the past, what will happen in the future, the character's thought, etc.
