Answer 1

Creating custom section layout options for SharePoint Online modern site pages involves using SharePoint Framework (SPFx) extensions. SPFx extensions allow you to extend the functionality of SharePoint and customize modern pages. In this case, you'll need creating an application customizer extension to add custom section layout options.

Unfortunately, No.

Currently there is no SharePoint out of the box or custom code way available to create custom section layout options for SharePoint online modern site pages.
