Find your device in the App Passwords list and click the Remove button to revoke the password."

What will this do? Will it remove existing emails and contacts from the client or just stop syncing future emails and contacts but show previous emails and contacts?

I do not want to test this on my mobile.
It will refuse a connection with the Fastmail server. If it was using IMAP, you Might have offline access to previously sync'd items, if that is the way your app works. K9 mail, for instance would still have offline access to the imap messages previously downloaded. If you are using the Fastmail App, you won't have any access at all. If you are revoking a POP3 access, everything they downloaded will still be available. If you are revoking a web browser access, they wont have access to anything...

It all depends on the technology and the app. There's no way to delete offline access to things in some apps, without deleting the app, which means having direct contact to the device.

Sorry, you probably wanted more detailed information.
