Yes, you can also actually start the game, make some changes under empire options, then save the empire. You will find it in the empires folder under SE4 or whatever mod you might be using.

2. Once you are playing a game I see a 'Save Empire' option there near the 'Save Game' option. It may seem obvious but what is the purpose of that? Is what saved different depending on when you save it?

The only real advantage, that I know of, is you can get into the research tree far enough to have several ships designed, then you can save your designs with your empire. This also allows you to save your empire with it's accumulated empire points, though I have seen no real advantage there.
