The answer to the first part is clearly yes !
Just look at what happens at Lucky Dip comps when an experienced dancer gets a less experienced dancer. It may not always affect the 'quality' of the dancer but someone who doesn't follow that well can break the rhythm of a song or miss beats and so the moves attempted and style may alter.
Equally a good woman may find it difficult to maintain a level of 'quality' if her partner is not leading or dancing off the pace while she expects to be led on the beat
difficult to lok good if you are being hauled round doing moves that are not being led well !
Not sure about the second question.
