Answer 1

IF the bag is not found, you will be eligible for compensation.  The amount of compensation is covered under various conventions, so it depends on where you were flying from and to...  I strongly suspect it will not cover the cost of the contents.

I'll go worst case - The Warsaw Convention sets airline liability at $20 per kilo — or $9.07 per pound — with a maximum of $640 per suitcase.  If you were flying within the US, the limit is higher, up to $2500 with specific  exclusions.

In addition, the suitcase has to be 'lost'.  How long the airline has to do that depends again on your itinerary.   If the bag is recovered, even after your vacation, they owe you $0.

Sorry to be the bearer of potentially bad news.

Answer 2

If it's delayed (lost and then found) then no, no compensation.
