Both are right.
Yes, you are correct for both questions.
1. The Metropolitan Police Act was established in the early 1800s to form the first large-scale organized police force in London. This Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1829 and led to the creation of the Metropolitan Police Service, also known as the "Met."
2. The definition of a "bobby" is indeed a nickname for members of Sir Robert Peel's Metropolitan Police Force. Sir Robert Peel is credited with establishing the first modern police force in London, and his police officers were commonly referred to as "bobbies" in his honor. The term "bobby" is still sometimes used to describe police officers in the United Kingdom today.
