Nope on both of the above. The highest gain possible in a yagi antenna
is when the spacing between the elements is infinitely small, and by
infinitely small, I am speaking of something like S=.00000000001
^-1000.

Reference: Antennas:Krause; Volume 2

If they revoked the old P=(I^2)R, then I missed it.
