Somewhat, but only in the sense of "room to maneuver." Leeway a sailing term meaning not to anchor in the lee of another anchored boat (i.e., the path it would take if the wind changed) The "leeward" (pronounced "loo-ard") side is the side of the boat not facing the wind. So, it means to give someone their space.
Wiggle room means room to move around, which is a somewhat different concept.

Yes it is, leeway is just a more appropriate/professional way to say wiggle room

No a way is passage and room is a bigger space
