Answer 1

Yes:

Hidden: Optional Boolean. TRUE to define the content type as hidden. If you define a content type as hidden, Windows SharePoint Services does not display that content type on the New button in list views. If you do not include this attribute, Windows SharePoint Services treats the content type as if this attributes was set to FALSE.
