Yes, they can be. (Supports other formats, too.)

Not the Intel hex files, at least not to my knowledge. I don't think they
/can/ contain other info, can they?

I'm not sure, but I don't think there's a clear relationship between the
size of a hex file and the size of the executable. AFAIK the hex file could
contain one byte per line (hex file rather big) or the executable could
contain "holes" (hex file relatively smaller than for an executable without
holes).
