Answer 1

Yes, both do the same. Personally, I prefer to exit the function in the same place. eg.

function doThings(){
  $flag = false;
  if($oh){
    $flag = $oh;
  }
  return $flag;   
}

Answer 2

In the scenario described above, Yes . Or it should work fine. I prefer the first method, less typing and that's it.
