If you install arms that are a different length than the factory arms, yes. Luckily, it's an EEPROM setting that you can change without much headache.

That would be dependent on the carriages and carriage/joint interactions. I would try the original H-radius first, and then slowly adjust it as the V2 user manual specifies if that doesn't work. Unless you have an HE280 or similar, then just run the H-radius calibration, and it will do it for you.
