Yes, but you have to add some icons, e.g. "page preview", "help", "print 
directly" "pdf directly".

BTW: In the UI the name is "Page Preview" not "Print Preview", although 
the command is ".uno:PrintPreview". And I think 'Page Preview' is the 
correct term, because it is not a print preview, see below.

No. Reasons:
1. The 'Page Preview' mode shows the content on the page size set in the 
page style. The preview in printing dialog considers real paper size and 
settings of the 'Page Layout' tab of that dialog. It also considers 
selections.
2. The 'Page Preview' mode has a zoom and a full screen mode.
3. The 'Page Preview' mode allows changing of margins and column width 
by dragging with the mouse. Especially altering the margins here is very 
important, because the 'Page Preview' shows header and footer and 
considers repeat rows/columns and shows the table position.

Kind regards
