No.
Bootloaders store their code in a special "bios_grub" partition (type
EF02) when using the CSM/BIOS boot mode or inside a EFI System
partion when using EFI boot mode.
There is no free space like in the MBR where the bootloaders store their
code.
The free space you are seeing is to align the partitions on 1MB
boundaries.

No. This is for alignment as well.
