Starch is a polysaccharide made of glucose molecules, while glycerin is a simple sugar alcohol. Starch can be broken down into glucose molecules, which can then be converted into glycerin through a series of biochemical reactions in some organisms. This means that starch can be a potential source for the production of glycerin.

Not really, glycerin is a humidicant. Meaning that it does not evaporate and in fact absorbs water from the air.
