Your Answer for Question 1:
No, because different instructions are translated into machine code differently.  Each instruction can be represented as fields of binary numbers.  The fields in MIPS instruction includes op, rs, rt, rd, shamt and funct.  Therefore, different instructions will have different field representation.

Your Answer for Question 2:
Because the "..." may mean that it branches far away, farther than can be represented in the 16 bits of the conditional branch instruction.  Since the program counter(PC) contains address of the current instruction, we can only branch within +/-(2^15) words of the current instruction if we use the PC as the register to be added to the address.
