No. The gas is needed for heating homes and industial uses and that was already the case when Germany was using its peak nuclear power. Keeping the nuclear reactors would be almost no help with the current problem because Germany is using almost no gas for electricity.

Yes, because all of Germany's electricity is only around 21% of its energy needs. The heat sector is more than twice of that.
