Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

When capital per worker is above its equilibrium value, output per worker is higher, so each worker has more to consume. Total saving/investment is higher, as well, but not enough to replace the capital lost to depreciation. As a result, capital per worker is falling, which brings output and consumption down to their equilibrium levels.
