Your Answer for Question 1:
Yes they can. For example, different instructions can be all of R-type or I-type. Since MIPS instructions are all limited to 32 bits from the design constraint, many instructions will be of similar or identical bit format.

Your Answer for Question 2:
If the instructions are too far apart beyond the reach of the branch operation then the code will not work. Branches must be with 2^15 words of the current instruction.
