A bit, yes. Early on, basses nearly always doubled the cello part down an octave. It wasn't until the 19th century that basses began getting their own parts.

No. On the whole, modern symphony orchestras tend to be significantly larger. Improvements in instrumentation have made for a wider variety of instruments available to the composer; for example, trumpets were originally available only in C and D, whereas E flat and B flat trumpets were available by the end of the 1700s. Similarly, instruments such as the clarinet and bassoon appeared a little later. Composers' styles changed through the years as well. As music became more expressive through the Romantic period, composers tended to experiment more with different sounds and combinations of instruments, as well as creating parts for "Violin I", "Violin II" etc. The modern symphony orchestra averages around 180 members, to which more can be added as the music requires. Early orchestras were comprised of just a few dozen.
