Answer 1

There is a tiny bit of energy that can be wasted by leaving things plugged in if one piece is malfunctioning.  Otherwise you will see no appreciable effect from unplugging things.  If they have a standby mode though, unplugging can save a decent amount.  Nothing staggering but every little bit helps.

Answer 2

So long as an appliance is switched off, there is nothing gained by physically pulling the plug.
