The embryo is about the size of the pointed end of a straight pin. It's not going to absorb much cholesterol and even of it did, then the cholesterol would be in the embryo instead of the yolk, and you are going to eat both.
No difference. But I will not argue about well cared for home raised eggs being better than battery raised eggs. Maybe the rumor got started because battery hens are not producing fertile eggs, so if you buy fertile eggs, you are going to get eggs from better raised hens and not from battery farms.
If there were going to be any difference (there isn't) the fertile eggs would be even richer because the yolk has a life to support.
I can remember when the health food advocates would only eat fertile eggs because they were "live food". Eggs that were not fertilized were "dead food".
