Unlikely. The Sadducee's beliefs were at odds with what Jesus taught. They did not believe in life after death or any reward or punishment beyond this life. In fact, Jesus excoriated them along with Pharisees in Matthew chapter 23.

Yes, the Sadducees were looking for a political Messiah to repulse the Romans. Jesus refused this role, therefore for them he could not be accepted as Messiah.

The Saducees considered any messianic claimant to be a threat because they feared Roman retaliation. To the Saducees, the Temple, the system of tithes and offerings that sustained the Temple, and the rituals of the temple were the most important thing in the world. Any uprising of Jews against Rome was a threat because they knew that Rome, in putting down the uprising, would be likely to shut down all access to Jerusalem. The Zealots were looking for a Messiah to be a military leader in the rebellion they hoped for. When the Zealots did rise in revolt in the year 68, everything the Saducees feared happened. Rome crushed the revolt, destroyed the Temple, and in doing so, destroyed the very foundation of the Saducees' belief system.
