Yes: There are varying strengths available for whitening , some less concentrated and some more concentrated then 22%. The more concentrated, the quicker it will work but it may also cause some tooth sensitivity as well.

Yes: 22% is pretty strong. You want to be sure that you don't keep your bleaching trays in your mouth for more than 45 minutes, 30 minutes would be even better to avoid burning your gums.
