YES, it can be.
It may also be held in place by a holder (with or without a tee), or it can be drop-kicked! See NFHS 2-23-3

No they may not.
In fact each and every time R is guilty of encroachment (on the 10 yard free kick neutral zone) the ball will be moved five yards closer to the R goal posts! All they can legally do is jump up and down and yell!
FYI-
This happended just 4 years ago in a quarterfinal playoff game here in OREGON. The kick was good and the team kicking the Free Kick won the game and advanced.
I believe the losing coach is still recovering as we speak!
