Answer 1

Yes they are happy ....because they feel safe ..due to sharia law.

Answer 2

It depends who you ask and how freely they feel they can talk. There are numerous Saudi women who have complained about certain discriminatory laws such as how: women cannot drive, women cannot work in factories that men work in, and how women cannot vote in municipal elections (Saudi Arabia does not have national elections since it is an Absolute Monarchy). However, it is much rarer to find Saudi women who complain about the "bigger issues" which bother Westerners about the situation in Saudi Arabia, such as: that the rape victim should be punished, the presence of a cult of domesticity, the veiling (including niqabs and abayas), and the education/literacy disparaties between women and men.

However, as is typical, women who come from underdeveloped areas are typically happier than women who are fully emancipated. This is because emancipated women often have additional stressors (work commitments, organizational meetings, political ideals, etc.) and have much more that is beyond their reach (when possibilities are unlimited, you feel that you can never reach them, etc.) As a result, Saudi women are generally happier than Western women, but whether or not this happiness is desirable is worth questioning.

They cannot vote. There are proposals to give women the vote in some municipal elections, but these are very controversial and a woman is not entitled to have a truly private ballot in them.
