Yes, and yes, though the latter requires some care.  On a T21 I had, I 
could display on either the internal or external displays, but not both 
simultaneously.  On my T42, it only displays on both.  On my daughter's 
R50, a movie showed only on the laptop screen and not on the docking 
station's.

The Thinkpad X series are 12", according to Thinkpad.com.  But I 
haven't used one; I like having the Ultrabay available for an optical 
drive or for a second battery.
