Yes. Your attorney is your representative.

Yes, the attorney represents the client at a pre-trial conference. It is not a critical stage of the case, because no evidence is taken and nothing is decided. Typically, these involve plea negotiation, whether the admissibility of evidence will be contested, and what instructions should be given to the jury.
