MTU Specify how many byte we can send through the link

In the Ethernet link the mtu is 1500 byte

My question is :

(1).Can we send a data less then the mtu ?

(2). if I'm sending data with a size 1300 byte does the network stack will adding a padding to the packet so the packet size is 1500 byte ?
