IIUC what you did, then yes and yes.
This is the accepted idiom:
#+PROPERTY: header-args :tangle yes
Remember that if you add or change that line you need to update with C-c C-c or
`org-mode-restart'.
Maybe you omitted the `header-args'. That used to be correct syntax but was
obsoleted some time back.
See (info "(org) Using Header Arguments")
