yes. See:

This says it defaults to one day. I looked in Config.pm for IC 4.6.4 and the
default is one hour there.

I have seen a routine (I think on the netsolutions website..?) which pops up
a messagebox alerting you that your session is about to expire. This would
be an alternative. For ic, I think this is only really relevant if you are
logged in since your session values are kept for longer. (see SaveExpire:
http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=icconfig05%2e69 
- default is 30 days)

Yes. see
