But the places where you can grow crops are wide flat open spaces, which would get re(?)vegetated with woody plants when you take off the grazing pressure.
Depends on the climate. A semi-desert (e.g. a lot of Western US) is a wide flat open space, but it doesn’t change over to a forest without the grazing pressure.
Some. However the areas with grazing (usually non-intensive and by cows, not goats or sheep) aren’t much different from areas without grazing. You just won’t get forests in sufficiently arid climates. Brush, yes, some trees along the usually dry creek beds, yes, forests, no.

Does much grazing occur there? Because if not, then this is somewhat irrelevant.
