yes.

The scheduling policy only determines the ordering within the list of
runnable processes with equal static priority.

yes.

All scheduling is preemptive: if a process with a higher static
priority  becomes  ready to run, the currently running process will be
preempted and returned to the wait list.


Both texts are quotes from `man 2 sched_setscheduler`.
