It’s not likely an unused site is using mach resources except for harddrive space. There may be something left in memory but on a typical server thats doubtfull.
google bots trigger the site exactly the same as a regular user except it doesnt load unnessasary files like javascript, css or images (except maybe for image search).
wp-cron I believe can be triggered using a cron job. I’m not sure if wordpress attemps to do this by default, It may vary depending on the server config.
