Say I have drop box syncing to my Mac and PC. Next, I delete a file that is synced (either from one of the clients or the web interface). Obviously, this will cause the file to be removed automatically from the other clients.
My question is if it permanently deletes this file on that client, or simply moves it to the trash/recycling bin.

No it doesn't move it to the trash/recycle bin.
It stores it though under the
Dropbox/.dropbox.cash/directory (on MacOS and Linux, and I guess something similar on Windows) for at least 3 days. So you can either browse this directory and find your deleted files or simply restore the deleted files from the Web UI and then files that are in the cache will be moved to the original directory.
