No. It’s like ‘Clue.’ Need the room, the suspect, and the weapon or it doesn’t count.

Don’t think so in this case - we were all expecting him to be assassinated somehow, and the old ‘sushi dinner with a nice cup of tea after’ wasn’t very likely. Should have had a sweepstake on his life expectancy - guessing 60 days would have been pretty impressive.

I’d say it counts for at least half-credit.
