If you tackle them with your arm, yes. Shoulder no. If you tackle the arm it is known as a clothesline. It is a type of tackle made infamous by Dick "Night Train" Lane. Many players were injured using this type of tackle.

A majority of the time, if the hit is deemed vicious, it will be flagged for unnecessary roughness. If the tackle happens in the back of the neck and drags the player down (outside the tackle box), this is considered a horse-collar tackle, and it also a penalty.

No it isn't legal in any of the football ranks do to the injuries it can cause. It is especially cheap to choke the player so you can get the player down. Horsecollar is not called that much do to how hard it is to question if the call is right so yes it is illegal in football.
