I would like to find out more about the units assumed in size and distance
parameters, such as in Mesh_criteria_3. It isn't obvious in the documentation.

Does a distance value of 1.0 mean 1.0 mm? Does a facet size value of 1 mean
1.0 mm^2? Does a cell size value of 1 mean 1.0 mm^3?

CGAL does not know about such units in general.
The distance unit is the same unit as the one that you use for
the coordinates of your points. The others follow.
