I would think so.

No a node is the static evaluation of a chess position. 

So for a familar position - 16 men each side, equal material, 20 moves
each, white to move, implies slight advantage to white...

Yes Fritz does more nodes per second than Gnu, and no I don't know how
they make it so fast, I guess a lot of good assembler and attention to
detail. 

Other things being equal more nodes per second is better, but other
things are never equal at least between different programs.
