No, Nazi's also send to concentration camps: communists, homosexuals, disabled, Russian prisoner's of war, gypsies, partisans. From 12 millions victims of Holocaust, 6 millions were Jews, 3 millions Russian prisoners of war, 3 million others.

No. Dachau was primarily a camp for political opponents. It was not an extermination camp. There were some Jews at Dachau but nearly all for reasons other than being Jewish.
