tables

articles
1. id
2. title
3. text
4. autor
tags
1. id
2. name
3. id_articles

Answer 1

the answer is no, but here is what you need:
yiiframework.ru/doc/cookbook/ru/model.save.related.data
habrahabr.ru/post/118910

Answer 2

Generally speaking, it is possible, although perverted:

public function tableName() {
    $tableNum = (isset($_REQUEST['bookindex'])) ? (int)$_REQUEST['bookindex'] : 1;
    return 'gbook'.$tableNum.'_messages';
  }

The model works with tables
'gbook1_messages', 'gbook2_messages'... and so on.
The structure of the tables is, of course, the same.
