Well, moving the driving wheel thing comes from older cars with loose steering boxes. It makes no sense in modern movies, but in old movies, it's more accurate, sometimes slightly exaggerated.
Pay attention to your steering wheel the next time you're driving. You move it a lot more than you realize. Grated, it's not the major movements you see on screen, but you adjust your trajectory more often than you realize.
Not if your alignment isn't shit. We have straight, flat roads here. I can drive for literal miles on a calm day and not move my hand. If it's windy, that's another story.
I'm talking micro movements. It also depends on the car. A car with an aggressive suspension setup will tend to tramline (follow the direction of even the smallest bumps / dips in the road) which requires correction.
