1. True.

"Sensitivity" is the change in length of the liquid column per degree change in temperature. The unit is mm/C.

A larger bulb contains more liquid. This would surely give a larger increase in volume, hence a larger increase in length of the liquid column, for a degree rise in temperature.

2. Water. See the web-page below"
