That will really depend on how the chocolate is formed........chips, cubes, paillettes, buttons, shavings, etc., since cups measure volume, not weight.
There will be different amounts of "dead space" in the cup with each different shape, so some would be more densely packed--and heavier- than others.

Yup, as expected.....and those differences can be enough to alter results.

Well, no.
One cup of melted chocolate weighs 10 ounces, so 2 cups would weigh 20 ounces--well over a pound.
