1- Yes.
2- Provided you have up-to-date performance statistics dba_tables tells you: a) how many rows you have in your table, b) average row lenght and, c) how much overhead you have set for the table; these pieces of information allow you to tell what's your "ideal" space utilization. On the other hand dba_extents allows you to check how much space is the table actually allocating. Difference between actual nad ideal space utilization is the space you are wasting e.g. space allocated but not used to store actual data.
