For a tin loaf, rolls, baguettes and tomatoes, yes. For a 25 cm (9.8 in) round sourdough it means two strokes, and the join shows.
Yes — a serrated edge starts the cut through a smooth tomato skin where a slightly dull straight blade skates. It is one of the most useful non-bread jobs a bread knife does.
