1. Not one that you can directly boot from, no. But you can use a program like iPartition to divide the drive into multiple volumes, without erasing it. You can also store a backup that's bootable after restoration in a sparse image on the drive. See "Storing a backup alongside other files on a destination drive" in the User's Guide.

Note, though, that I recommend partitioning.

(You can't boot from a backup in a folder, anyway -- OSX has quite stringent requirements about where things must be stored.)

2. Absolutely not. Files are stored in a completely standard, OSX format. Nothing about the storage is specific to SuperDuper! at all... and that's quite deliberate.
