In short - No.

In long - If it runs then the amount of RAM is fine. It would only be useful for multi-tasking and video-editing. Especially with a low-end GPU like the 7670M. Upgrading the speed may help a tiny bit, but amount definitely won't.

Yes it will but only with this config: 2x4GB RAM in dual channel. If you want to stick with 1x8GB then don't do it, you won't get any benefit. Having 8GB in Dual Channel will definitely give your performance boost in apps and games.

Changing to 8GB would be a good idea, especially as most games these days require 8GB or more.
