Absolutely. That's why the Minovsky drive's emissions can function as
huge beam sabers. :-)

Sure - like any object accelerated to near-light speed. But that
doesn't mean they'll form a miniature black hole, or even exert a
significant gravitational pull. (At least, not any more than you'd get
from standing next to a skyscraper, mountain, or other massive object.)
