Not exactly. For signing keys (#1), there are no preferences, so there is nothing to override. It's just whatever you set cert-digest-algo to. Note, though, that this includes signing your own key, so if you make a subkey or add a user ID, the binding signature will also use that digest. For #2, you do understand correctly.
