In brief: Yes
There are many asanas (position) that help align the spine.
Over time, people who practice regularly, feel they are taller and may have "grown" a half an inch due to the back and neck stretch. Most of us as we age, compress our spine and feel shorter.

In brief: Yes
If you are new to yoga would recommend working with a yoga instructor. If you have concerns regarding cervical disc etiology, discuss this further with your physician prior to engaging in yoga.
