No it would not, not even close to that. A lot of spam links to legitimate but 
compromised domains.
Maybe - but most of those compromised domains are not domains which the user would normally go to.

So, even if the link is to a 'legitimate' domain, the vast majority would be to domains which the user does not recognise. So, it would catch those.

Remember, the idea wasn't to have a 'global' list of 'good domains', but ones which the *user* has whitelisted, so the user recognises them.
