Default Few easy question from a beginner

I recently racked several small batches of wine and had a few
questions.

1. When I added capmpden tablets I didnt do my research regarding
using them and just crushed them and added them to the must. Now I
have some floating chunks of campden tablet that wont dissolve. Will
these eventually dissolve or do I have to filter it out? Next time
they'll be dissolved properly in water before being added, live and
learn.

2. Is head space really that big an issue for reddish wines that will
not age longer than 3 months? On one carboy I have a mere 3-4 inches
and the other a good 6 inches. When I racked into these carboys I
filled them with CO2 and again purged them once ready to let them sit.

Thanks
