Q1. Does assigning null and assigning empty object same in Java ?

Ans. Null means nothing and hence means it's being assigned something till anything can be assigned to the reference. Null is a common memory location that get's assigned to any object reference till an actual object is assigned.

Empty object may not have a programmer initialized state but still a separate object in memory that has been assigned the placeholders.
