I would say true on as much of the question up to the word "and".

It's  not complete.

If the cells are small and pale, then it's not usually iron deficiency but maybe a kind of thalessemia. So probably false, depending on the full question.

True they are almost always present in normal quantities. This is because the synthesis of RBC's is not being affected.
Anaemia is present because of the deficiency in haemoglobin. which makes the cells stain paler than they normally would making them (hypochromic)
They also are smaller cells as the MCV is decreased and so they are microcytic.
Hence you get an anaemia with about normal RBC count and smaller than normal RBCs' that stain pailer.

ps. this is assuming you mean "and lack colour" not and "lack nor"
