1. Yes. Many refer to this lower part of one's range as chest register. Count yourself lucky to be studying with a teacher who realizes it's important for sops to develop their lower as well as their upper registers. 2. Probably. If you're really unsure, you might look for an opinion other than your teacher's. A coach or another teacher, perhaps. Good luck!
