> But for the network, that would look like you sending both $99 and $1 to new(?) addresses. That's exactly what actually happens. When you make a transaction, it takes a previous input to one of your addresses(or multiple if none of them are enough) and splits it, with part of it(the amount you want to send) going to the recipient address and the rest of it going back to a new random address in your wallet. There's no way to know which output is the recipient and which output is the change going back to the originator.
