No and no. With th elatter it doesn't load Helvetica at all, Error shown:
selectfont      > the requested font 'Helvetica' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 4 files: latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman10-italic.otf, lmroman10-regular.otf, lmsans10-regular.otf

With my original it does load (but no italic):
mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 4 files: helvetica.ttc, latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman10-italic.otf, lmroman10-regular.otf

Erase cache, regenerate formats, reload fonts (force) does give another (probably unrelated) error:
