No, and no
You have peeked my curiosity as to what you are calling the most venomous snake

The inland taipan is not just a venomous snake it's considered the most venomous snake in the world by many people. When compared drop for drop and based on the median lethal dose (LD50) value in mice, its venom is by far the most toxic of any land snake or even sea snakes.

Asian tiger snake

Pretty much. Its actually the garter snake. The asian tiger snake or tiger keelback is the only other "poisonous" snake specie. Theres so much confusion between poisonous and venomous that even if you ask google it gets it wrong. The keelbacks eat toads and they use the toads poison in glands on their skin as defense. The garter snake species from the upper western parts of north america that predominantly feed on rough skinned newts that are very poisonous and contain tetradotoxin (same as pufferfish). Certain garters in certain areas contain enough of that toxin from eating thd newts to kill multiple humans if the snake was eaten.

The keelbacks are venomous and poisonous, their venomous bites have even caused human fatalities. They were often confused with similar looking harmless species and exported as harmless species to collectors in the US, and put some folks in the hospital.
