I am using a statement similar to this:
using(SqlDataReader dr = ...){
dr.Read();
return Fill(dr);
}

will the using tag properly destroy the data reader after the return
statement?

Yes, it will once it goes out of scope, ie after the return in your case.
 
Sure will.

Yes - it's exactly equivalent to using a try/finally.
