Yes to both.: Our eyes get red because of irritation - dryness, allergy, infection, air pollution. Sleep, in addition to all it's other benefits, allows time for the surface of the eye to rehydrate. Water is the main ingredient in our tears. While the recommended amount changes, you should drink enough water so that you don't get thirsty. It is also helpful to protect your eyes from sun, wind, and dust.

White eyes: Try drinking more water, getting more rest, frequent artificial tears, occasional get-the-red-out drops otc. Some yellowing can be normal and varies from person to person.
