Yes: Incisions and approach can be similar. Reductions typically involve lifting the breast as well as weight reduction. Breast lifts reposition and sometimes reshape the breast. Usually little breast weight is removed.

Yes: When a breast reduction is performed, the breast is “automatically” lifted at the same time. These procedures involve removal of redundant or loose breast skin; both of these procedures involve tightening of the breast skin envelope resulting in a higher position of the breasts and nipple/areola complexes on the chest wall. The main difference with breast reduction surgery is change in size.
