Yes, you can. This is called stealing the ball, a concept that is heavily used throughout the game. If you happen to hit your opponent while attempting to steal the ball (hitting his wrist, arm, body, etc.), that is a foul, and you will not get the ball.

Yes, as long as they do not foul the person. You can foul a person by: * Hitting them, even by accident. * Blocking them without having both feet firmly planted on the ground. There are more ways to foul a person I just can't think of all of them right now.
