Does +%spell damage affect them?
Totems inherit any spell damage you might have on you at the time of casting. Then you can further boost their spell damage by casting buffs on them.
So for example if you cast Burning Veil on yourself and summon a totem it'll have the bonus spell damage from it, and then you can cast Burning Veil on it when it's casting at enemies and it'll have double the effect in total.

No (and no).
