If I call .hide() on an element, will/can jQuery select it in a normal dom selector.
If jQuery does normally select hidden elements, what is the proper way to select only visible elements. Can I use a css selector, or is there a more valid way of doing this?
You can simply use the jQuery :visible or :hidden selector to select all the visible or hidden elements in an HTML page. The jQuery :visible selector considered an element visible if they consume space in the document.
The hide() method hides the selected elements. Tip: This is similar to the CSS property display:none.
Yes, hidden/toggle will hide elements by setting the css display . When hidden, elements can not receive clicks.
To achieve the best performance when using :visible to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use . filter(":visible") . Using this selector heavily can have performance implications, as it may force the browser to re-render the page before it can determine visibility.
Yes. The hide function only stores the current value of the display css property of your element, then set it to none. So the dom selectors will not be affected by it unless they try to match elements with a particular display css value.

Have a look at the jQuery hide function documentation.
Yes it will count hidden elements.
