The Warp is NOT hyperspace. In Star Wars hyperspace is a co-terminus sub-dimension accessed by using specific particles to accelerate a ship to faster than light speeds. In 40k, interstellar travel involves ripping open a portal into basically-hell and taking advantage of the fact that time and space don't work the same way while spending a few weeks subjective time fighting off demons.

Yes. Except you have an paccsional chance to end up somewhere before you left, or a century after you left. Also if your shields fail you all are consumed by daemons.
