Not exactly. A page fault occurs when a process accesses memory that's
been written to the swap file. The OS has to identify a page currently
in memory to be written to the swap file, then read in the needed data
from the swap file.

Absolutely. More RAM would mean fewer page faults, less reading from and
writing to the disk.
