Yes. SO2 has a dipole moment of 1.62D SO3 has a dipole moment of 0. SO3, a trigonal molecule, has no dipole moment beacuse the bond dipoles cancel each other out. SO2 is bent and the bond dipoles do not cancel.

No. Although it is resonance, the bonds are still equal (they are all the same length, intermediate in length between a single and a double bond), so they cancel out.
