The Git protocol does not implement it itself but you can channel it
over a TLS tunnel (via stunnel for instance). Unfortunately, this
means a specialized software and setup on both ends so if the question
was about a general client using stock Git then the answer is no, it's
impossible.

Yes, but it will only be secure if you've managed to verify the
server's certificate and do trust its issuer (or a CA higher up the
cert's trust chain) -- people tend to confuse "encrypted" with
"secure" which is not at all the same thing.
