Yes and no. Arthas does not kill the Lich King when he destroys the chamber in the Frozen Throne, he instead frees him from his prison.
That being said however, the Lich King is not wholly unchanged after being freed. As the cinematic shows, Arthas takes up the helmet of the Lich King and wears it himself. By doing this, he essentially joins with the Lich King. The result is a combination of Arthas' personality and the Lich King's personality inhabiting the same body. What this means in relation to your question is that the Lich King as an independent being no longer exists, but his will continues to live on through Arthas, controlling and corrupting him further.

Not quite. More that he merges with him, becomign the Lich King.
The Lich King, prior to the end of WC3, was just Ner'zhul (orcish shaman), in spirit form, corrupted and twisted by the Burning Legion, then trapped in a shard of ice.
He'd already managed to get into Arthas' head a little bit via the cursed runeblade Frostmourne - that's what allowed the prince to get corrupted in the first place. What Arthas did was shatter the icy prison, which, to some extent, destroyed Ner'zhul's physical form. Ner'zhul's spirit simply retreated to the crown - which Arthas, at Ner'zhul's orders, put on, at which point the two merged, becoming Arthas, the Lich King. (Hence, you hear "Now, we are one!" at the end of the scene.)
