There are no grammatical prohibitions to using the conjunction "and" to begin a complete sentence. Stylistically, such use of "and" is appropriate for a sentence that is providing additional information to something stated previously and yet that is also important enough to be highlighted in its own right.

Yes, You can start a sentence with "And" (or "but" too!). It is actually considered a good way of sentence formation these days (Earlier it was said that conjunctions should not begin a sentence. However, modern English accepts such sentence formation) to emphasize the relationship of the sentence to the previous sentence.

For example, "She is very pretty. And,smart too."

Here the second sentence starts with "And" itself and is not used as a conjunction.
