Doesn't man yum with: "update If  run without any packages, update
          will update every currently installed package.  If one or more
          packages are  specified,  Yum will  only update the listed
          packages.  While updating packages, yum will ensure that all
         dependencies  are  satisfied.   If  no  package  matches  the 
given
         package name(s), they are assumed to be a shell glob and any
         matches are then installed."  answer both your questions?
