No, much less. Her character seemed to be much more developed in the series
than the books.

I can't remember if it was touched on in the book, but spice IIRC is a
by-product of a worm.

IIRC the worms are not the same sort of creature as normal terrestrial
animals. Worms have a sort of chemical factory in them that processes
stuff. IIRC, their waste gas is oxygen rather than CO2.

You'll have to either wait for the sequals, or read the rest of the books.
Yes, they do do something with the water.
