Yes. I haven't done it, but I know someone who has. Her reason was so she could mark up the back and then quilt on the markings. I have also seen people who wanted the bobbin thread on top - they hand wound something on the bobbin that couldn't be a top thread.

Yes. This is called “bobbin work”. You can also put specialty threads and even thin ribbon in your bobbin that would not be able to be used in the needle. I do a lot of bobbin work. It’s a lot of fun. Just make sure that your quilt is securely basted. You might want to Stitch in the ditch first, then flip it over and quilt from the back.
