Yes. House of Representatives is based on % of population.
The Senate is two per state regardless of population.
The reason is: Representatives give states with more population more pull and Senators give states with less populations some representation nationally.

Yes, they do, because the number of members a state gets in the House of Representatives depends on its population, whereas in the Senate every state is represented by two members.
