The charging case has a built-in battery, and when connected to a charger, it charges along with the earbuds in the case. The earbuds will charge even if the charger is not connected to the charging case.
Leaving the case open might lead to dust or dirt coming into the case, which can affect the functionality of the AirPods, and/or the charging magnets in the case. The debris can work its way into the AirPod speakers, causing blockages and detriment to the sound.
Over time, the lithium-ion batteries degrade and make each charge shorter and shorter. Simply put, they will run out of power more quickly as time goes on. This isn't because they are using more power. Over time, the maximum capacity of the batteries inside the earbuds will start to decrease.
