When Sulu was captain of Excelsior, that's right. I feel like they alluded to this in a Voyager episode, like this was his real first assignment, and then he spent time making a family. So rather than him being a random character in the movie, he was now canonically Tuvok on his first stint with the Federation.

He played a bridge officer on the Enterprise B in Generations. Human by the look of him. So probably not Tuvok.

No, in the Voyager episode he is on the Excelsior with Sulu as captain. In Generations he is a bridge officer on the Enterprise B and Captain Harriman was in charge (nominally since his bridge was full of flag officers).
