Yes, as long as the indicator is on, it is consuming wattage in small increments. No harm no foul on the battery or electric bill, but if it is a 3+ year old laptop, you should let the battery discharge to almost 0% for longevity.

Yes, but the amount is very little. Most modern chargers will use about 1/2 to 1 watt per day. That will cost about .15 to .30 cents per month.
