Yes and yes. You have to bother, if you static link the gtk libs. Or if you use some other units with another license. But using the LCL, FCL, RTL, IDEIntf is modified LGPL and therefore you can link the compiled files (.o files) into a non LGPL application. Note: If you change the LCL, ..., then you must publish the changes.
