do the grades in the classes you take at a college while in high school go into your college GPA when you enter college? does it factor into your cGPA or math/science GPA at all?

Yes, just like any college coursework. I had most of an AA completed by the time I graduated from high school in 1999, and it definitely went into my GPA calculations when I did PharmCAS.

Most definitely.

If it was a math/science class, it would factor into math/science GPA, or just cGPA?

A math/science class factors in math/science GPA.

It'd factor into math or science GPA (depending what it was) and the cumulative.

Example: Back in THE DAY I took Math 32, which is like an omnibus Pre-Alg/Alg/Geom class when I was in HS (1998). That class got factored into my math GPA by PharmCAS.

It depends on how you took the class.

AP classes did not get counted into my gpa (University at Buffalo). They may have exempted me from some gen-eds but were put on your transcript as credits with no grades. (Like if you took and passed AP chem and you weere an english major and didn't need to take any sceicne classes except for gen-eds, AP chem would be counted as you science gen-ed but you wouldn't get a grade for it) Most science majors required you to take chem/bio again at the school even if you had AP.

however, if you actually took it for credit and received a grade while in high school, it would count. For example, at my high school we took it through a local university. We paid them money (it was a REALLY cheap discounted rate for high school students) and took their midterm and final exams (they mailed them in a manila envelope to my teacher). We received grades from the university. I don't think they were counted into my university gpa because they were from another school but they were counted into my pharmcas gpa.

University GPA is different from pharmcas GPA?

Yes, it will be slightly different, as each school as their own grading system when calculating the GPA.
