It is better to day they form in low pressure areas. Hurricanes themselves are large, intense low pressure systems. Tornadoes also produce low pressure but are too small to be considered their own weather systems. They generally form in a broad area of low pressure as well.

Yes. Hurricanes are themselves low pressure systems and tornadoes are also associated with low pressures, as are nearly all types of storm.
