Does the polyurethane penetrate the wood or mostly sit on top? I am
wondering how much sanding I would need to do to get the poly offr do
I could use oil?

It does not penetrate very much. The proper paint remover and/or sanding
should do it.

It looks like the polyurethane is mostly gone on the sides that face
the sun. But on the back and underneath, it looks almost like it did
when it was new.

Will the paint remover damage the wood?

Is the damage more from the rain? the sun? ??? We live in Palo Alto.
neither temp nor humidity varies much.

Are there polyurethanes with UV protection? Does that matter?

Thanks
