Yes, an Ukulele can be made of metal. There are some that make them from oil cans for a body. Some of the reverberation instruments are even chromed.

Maybe, depending on the ukulele. The uke is designed to be strung with gut or nylon strings. Metal is very likely to over stress the instrument.

Note that some strings, such as those for a banjolele or a bass ukulele, are wound with very thin wire to make it vibrate in the correct areas.
