hi ed, welcome to the garden helper. to anwer your question, yes and yes.
healthy glads will send up more than one flower spike, and while i have never had them 6 feet tall, i have had them close to 4.
the reason for letting the leaves die back before digging them up is to give the corm a chance to store all the needed nutrients for next year's blooms. that is how bulbs and corms and rizomes do it.
