Yes to both.

To determine this, compile them and then use M-x disassemble to see 
whether it's inlined.

(defun use-foobar () (foobar))

M-x compile-defun

M-x disassemble use-foobar

byte code for use-foobar:
  args: nil
0       constant  "foo"
1       constant  "bar"
2       concat2   
3       return

nested defsubst?

[Ian Zimmerman]

Is it useful?  That is, if I do this:

(defsubst foo ()
  "foo")

(defsubst foobar ()
  (concat (foo) "bar"))

will foobar contain an inlined copy of foo, _and_ will subsequent calls
to foobar be inlined?
