1) Yes.
2) That was arguably one of the best adjustments the movie script makes. When seeing Rocky's ship, Book Grace is only worried that if its an Aliens situation, the mission to save Earth will fail. Movie Grace is also concerned about his own well being, which matches the bits you mentioned better.

In the books Grace knows that he must be a super brave and selfless person to sign up for a suicide mission, he hasn't remembered anything about how he got there at this point.

It seems like his decision at the end is a lot easier of a one to make knowing what he knows now about his chances of survival on the return trip itself. The long term sleep system is wholly unreliable and you’re on a heavily damaged ship versus helping out the real bro and saving his species as well.

Not only that, but Eridians live even further away from Earth. The trip back would be almost 50% more than his original trip. By the time he got back to Earth, probably 40+ years would have passed.

That being said, not sure what the long term health issues of living on their planet would be. Even in his biosphere, the gravity is much greater there (putting more strain on the body) and if a medical issue happened, the Eridians wouldn't be well versed to be able to help. Grace's ship might have all sorts of medical information I suppose
