Project Hail Mary has a bit about this, don't want to say more to keep it spoiler free.

Yes, correct, they skipped a lot of the harder science for the movie to keep it a reasonable length. Movie was still very good though!

yes. both are good in their own. It's definitely worth to both watch the movie, and also read the book.

Definitely read the book. The book is about the existential elation at discovering a solution to a dire problem, so knowing a poorly-communicated version of every solution will likely ruin the book for anyone serious about the hard Sci-Fi.
