No. They are two things. Ramdisk only release the memory holding the deleted file.
So with compact mode disabled, the allocation will stay at full-memory when you right-click and select properties and will never release the unused memory allocation? I'm not sure if I understand this.

Yes.
On windows vista/7, when you do operations "right-click and select properties", Windows will scan (read/write) the data accross the whole disk. These read/write requests trigger memory allocations.
