Yes. Olfactory cells in the nasal passage respond to chemical molecules in the air and send it to the brain. The brain combines those signals and those from the taste buds to give you the flavor that you taste.

Yes, smell can greatly affect taste. When we eat, smell and taste work together to create our overall perception of flavor. That's why food may taste different when you have a stuffy nose, because smell plays a key role in how we perceive the flavors of food.
