Yes but it's easier for shorter people to gain muscle

Hmm, not really. It's just that your resting metabolic rate is going to be lower than someone taller, so you'll have to eat fewer calories to be in the same kind of deficit. It'll be much harder for you if you're eating the same amount as someone taller. But if you take your height into account when calculating your RMR, you'll be fine.

Not really, you’ll just likely have to eat in a lower deficit since you’re a smaller person
