If you save all photos to Icloud can you erase the pictures out of phone and still have access to them??

No! iCloud Photo Library is for syncing “so you can access your library from any device, anytime you want. Any changes you make to your collection on one device change on your other devices too.” https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264

This means if you delete they are deleted everywhere, including iCloud.
