First Answer:
Yes it does.
Second Answer:
Not so much. The most important thing is velocity, tracking, rotation, accuracy, and hitting the sweet spot or "pocket" of the pins. You will get more pin action from 16 pound ball than a 6 pound ball thrown with the same velocity though, so in broader general terms yes, but not from just a difference in a few pounds alone.

The objective of Bowling is to knock down and many pins as possible.
The force of a bowling ball is not always enough to knock down every pin because the distribution of force is not evenly spread across all the pins. The angle and speed at which the ball hits the pins, as well as the weight and shape of the ball, all play a role in determining how many pins will be knocked down.
In Bowling the term used when knock down all the pins is "Strike".
Bowling is a sport in which you roll a heavy ball down a lane to try and knock down 10 pins set up in a triangular shape. Skittles are a candy.
Bowling balls are heavy because their weight helps them maintain momentum and knock down pins effectively. The weight of the ball allows it to roll smoothly and generate enough force to hit the pins with enough power to knock them down.
Because it needs to have enough mass and spin to travel down the lane and knock over the pins.
You have to knock down ten pins in two tries to get a spare.
