Breakaways from the peloton are about a small group breaking off and using up more energy to take turns riding in front so they can either get a stage win, sprinting/mountain points, or gain time on the peloton. Breakaways often fail because small groups out front battling the wind can't compete with the mass of the peloton that can rapidly cycle through riders breaking the wind, or they fail because they go way too hard and burn out.

do teams breakaway together?

Sometimes. But modern team structures are more about surrounding a superstar rider with slaves that break wind for them and hold supplies for them/etc... So the team will protect the person who then gets to be the one to breakaway. For the GC guys this happens mostly on climbs. Pay special attention on stage 4 on monday in the tour they are going up Galibier and my bet is Pog gets it because Visma is weaker this tour than UAE

You get a huge efficiency gain with someone riding with you so hanging out together when you've left the main pack is smarter than going alone.
