The answer to your first question is no.
In fact, consider the GrasmannianGrassmannian $G(2,4)$ of $2$-planes in $\mathbb{C}^4$, which has dimension $4$. It is isomorphic to the projective GrasmannianGrassmannian $\mathbb{G}(1,3)$ of lines in $\mathbb{P}^3$, and the PluckerPlücker embedding realizes it as a quadric hypersurface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^5$.
Now take a point $p$ and a plane $H$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ such that $p \notin H$.
Let $\Sigma_p$ be the set of lines in $\mathbb{P}^3$ containing $p$ and let $\Sigma_H$ be the set of lines in $\mathbb{P}^3$ lying in $H$.
Then under the PluckerPlücker embedding $\Sigma_p$ and $\Sigma_H$ are carried to two linear subspaces of dimension $2$ in $X$ such that
$\Sigma_p \cap \Sigma_H= \emptyset$.
