Sure, you can make flowers out of fondant, gumpaste, modeling chocolate, or buttercream; which material is best to use depends on what you want to do with the flowers after you make them, how long you want them to last, how hard you need them to be, etc. You can get a ton of information on each of the above mediums at CakeCentral.com, as well as countless other websites. Cakesbydesign.cc (Not .com) is a great place for supplies and info. If you do a search on fondant or gumpaste flowers, you'll get more info than you ever wanted! :)

You can, but since fondant is used mainly for its smooth appearance and not used as a 'solo frosting', you first need to ice the cake with a cream cheese frosting, which is the more commonly used frosting for carrot cakes. The fondant can then be added on top of that for decorating purposes if you like.
