Mostly, yes. At this gauge you are into mooring lines, chain tails and heavy load restraint, and the hook is stiff enough that it will not spring open on you. For an awning or a shade sail it is dead weight flogging about in the breeze.
Check before you buy. A 10 mm bar needs an opening well over 10 mm to pass through and still move freely, and plenty of chain links and tie-down eyes are tighter than they look. Measure the hole, not the gear it is bolted to.
It does. The extra reach acts as a lever on the bend, so a load pulling sideways works harder to straighten the hook than it would on a short hook. Keep the pull in line with the arm and it behaves itself.
