Yes, if you have enough battery AND you have not told the BIOS to wake it
up.

Yes, the HD is fully protected (heads unloaded, not spinning).  The problem
you could have is the BIOS deciding to wake the machine up while you're
moving it around, so make triple sure that won't happen, or battery running
out.
