Stepped resize, does the resizing in steps. 
(best look at the Vapoursynth script view to see that it does)
So instead of directly resizing to the target resolution it resized to a resolution in the middle and then to the target resolution and additionally can apply denoising and sharpening.
Yes, I think that using that more steps than 2 when resizing from SD to HD is overkill.
I can't say whether this is the best setting for you since I have no clue what you like.
About the lossless encoding:
No, to use lossless encoding (= huge output size) you need to use 'constant quantizer (1-pass)', set the restriction setitngs to a profile&level which allows lossless encoding. set "Quantization strength" to 0 and enabled 'Lossless'. (or similar, since you didn't say what format you want encoder you use)
