Q1 If your bank statements show that none of your income is spent on day-to-day bills/living expenses etc for your children, you have no other dependents whom you support (eg parents), and your savings account(s) demonstrate that your earnings are used primarily for savings, then IMHO you can answer ‘No’ to this question.
Q2 IANAL but by inference if you don’t class your children as dependents and you’re travelling with them, then the answer to this question would be ‘Yes’.
Applicants’ individual circumstances differ and are personal to them. If you provide a coherent set of documents that supports the statements in your application, UKVI should be able to understand your situation. If you wish, you can explain in more detail in the ‘extra information’ section at the end of the application and/or in a cover letter.
If you’ve not done so already, it’s a good idea to check any UAE rules about one parent taking children abroad.
