1) Doubtful

2) With a commute that long you are doing mostly highway driving I would assume, the ~3% increase in efficiency will only be seen while sitting at lights, stopped traffic, or draw bridges.

Don't feel like you are missing out on too much.

Unless your commute is ALL city driving which at 140 miles a day does not seem likely, you will not see much difference. Unless of course your 140 miles of highway commute is all in a construction area where the traffic is stop and go but then you would be spending more time in the car than the job is worth, at least in my opinion.

I think it is possible to program MSA with NCS. But I don't believe our US bound cars have the upgraded, heavy duty starter motor.
