Yes. Overclocking is adjusting the CPU core clock frequency. Making it higher allows the CPU to output faster, leading to increased single and multi-core performance.

Yes. CPU clock speeds apply to all cores, and therefore single core performance will be increased as a result.

so if i had a i5 4460 and a fx 8320 and i overclocked the 8320 could i get the same preformance out of both of them

If you overclocked the 8320 enough, it will eventually surpass the 4460, but in its current state with heavily multi-threaded situations, it will beat the 4460.
