Answer 1

This process is called viewing frustum culling and ThreeJS takes care of this.

ThreeJS also takes care of font and/or backface culling depending on your material settings. Meaning that only the visible side of the faces are rendered.

Here in the documentation you can find the ThreeJS Frustum.

And if the frustumCulled property on THREE.Object3D manages frustum culling and is by default set to true.
