  1. The answer can be yes, maybe, or no, depending on how you look it at. Yes : if you track crests and troughs a la Doppler and add Lorentz contraction and Time Dilation. Maybe : if you consider the (relativistic) Doppler effect as a manifestation of the (lack of) stationary Aether. No : if you consider the RDE as the effect caused by they fact that the 4-momentum transfer of photons to/from emitters/detectors must be orthogonal to the emitter/detector's 4-momentum. (As it must be to maintain E = mc^2 after emission/detection). That math gives you the relativistic doppler with recoil included (due to light carrying energy and momentum).
