Yes, but it only applies to the current editing session. The ~ file
is a copy of what you had when you started working on the file. Next
time you load the file into LyX, it overwrites that ~ file with the
then current version.
LyX produces such a file each time you save, if you've not disabled this
feature.
2) I observe that some other files are also created, the names of
which begin
with #. What are these files, and can I delete them safely?
Those are emergency saves, if LyX crashed.
These are autosave files, if you've asked LyX to save automatically
every N minutes. But they should be removed by LyX on shutdown. If not,
then, yes, there was probably a crash. Emergency save files have names
like: file.emergency.lyx.
