  1. No, that cannot be done. The Post Formats were never intended to be extended or added to. Please see the following from Post Formats on the WordPress Codex (emphasis mine):

    The Post Formats feature provides a standardized list of formats that
    are available to all themes that support the feature. Themes are not
    required to support every format on the list. New formats cannot be
    introduced by themes or even plugins.     The standardization of this list
    provides both compatibility between numerous themes and an avenue for
    external blogging tools to access this feature in a consistent
    fashion.
