Of course, and yes.

To be honest, I think you're reading too much into the AC. The low fuel procedure (eg. open crossfeed valves, boost pumps on, etc) is intended to ensure the fuel remaining is usable by the engines. The fuel quantity that triggers the procedures is not a "minimum fuel quantity" below which you're not supposed to operate, even though you might need to land ASAP.
