Default Re: conjunction
1. Yes - but it makes it sound as if the speaker is surprised, as yet can only be used for concession. With but it's ambiguous - it's not clear if the speaker intends contrast or concession.

2. Not necessarily. Both could be used in neutral style:

He insisted on going out in spite of the torrential rain.
It was pouring with rain - yet he insisted on going out.
