By default port 22.  man sshd:
"     -p port
             Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections
             (default 22).  Multiple port options are permitted.  Ports
             specified in the configuration file are ignored when a
             command-line port is specified."

Using an SSH tunnel, yes.  All traffic goes over the SSH port.
