When you set the camera to B&W you don't change any of the collected info. The photons still go through the Bayer matrix and you still collect exactly the same number of them. The only thing that changes is how your camera processes the raw images. The other point you raise is about resolution. There is a common perception that the resolution of a OSC camera and a monochrome camera differ by a factor of 3-4. This is wrong. The interpolation algorithms are pretty sophisticated and the difference is actually around 1.something.
