2. Does REORGANIZE on a table causes any locks?
Can't answer #1, not sure.
Reorganize will take a SCH-S lock to keep the metadata straight. It will also take S locks on the data as it processes, and should take an IX lock at the table level to keep anything from escalating to table level, but I'm not sure about that last one. Shouldn't be too hard to test but I don't have anything right now with large enough data that I can 'catch it' in stream to directly test.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.
