If I am uploading a file to SAFE and that file already exists, are the hashes of each chunk compared before actually uploading, so I won’t have to use any bandwidth or will it have to upload the data to SAFE before figuring out that the file already exists?

Your client will say to it’s close nodes: "I locally self encrypted this file and here’s the first hash: “dkjghfdksjghkdjshgk”. Your close nodes will look at these addresses to see if that chunk is already stored. If it is, no need to store it again.
