Hi new2ss,
For your first question:
scp-ing a directory (with the -r) option will also scp all files under that directory that have read permission for the id being used to scp the files. Whether a file is hidden or not will not make any difference.

About the second one:
The difference between /home/kevin and home/kevin in a tar file is simply that the first is an absolute path while the second is a relative path. In the second, if you extract from the tar file while in, say, /tmp, the new path will be created as /tmp/home/kevin. With the /home/kevin in the tar file, the same absolute path will be used.
