I think so, yes.  BTW, in my Emacs, the variable corresponding to
auto-fill-mode is auto-fill-function; `auto-fill-mode' is unbound.

Yes, that, and cycling in the first buffer may bring you from 2 to 1 or
from 2 to 2 afterwards.  Might be confusing, once you got used to it.

No, should not matter.  These things are called expressions, btw.

[And you might prefer `setq-local'.]
