Yes to the first; no to the second. White balance shifts do indeed cause huge changes in color. This is one of the amazing things our own vision system does — the brain tries to make sense of all colors as nice and neutral, even when they've really got a strong cast from the lighting.

Check out these color illusions for a powerful demonstration of how strong this effect is: http://www.lottolab.org/Colour%20illusions%20page.html
