Correct.

Incorrect.  The meaning of carillon is a set of tuned bells that can
play melodies or even multi-voice compositions.  But my intuition is
that this term implies the kind of bells that would be hung in a
steeple, not the kind of bells found inside a celesta.  It also implies
an insrument playable by a single performer, or a with a very few
assistants, not the kind of bell performance performed by a handbell
choir, but I haven't researched this interpretation.
