Yes. If you install Graphene and no play services your phone is de-googled unless you use Google services through a web browser or install another app that contacts them. Google does not have magical hardware level telemetry.

Yep! Since the Nexus phones, big G has kept dev's in mind when designing their devices. This is why there's so much control available on Pixies and previously on old Nexus phones.
