No, they eat fish and seal.
Yes. During summer, the polar bear's diet includes plant matter such as mosses, grasses, berries and leaves.

However, polar bears most feed on seals, as well as Arctic foxes, reindeer, rodents, musk ox, fish, shellfish, eggs and seabirds such as gulls. They have been known to eat beluga whales and even walruses. They are opportunistic feeders which have been known to even feed on human garbage, as evidenced when the garbage dump in Churchill, Canada, had to be shut down due to polar bears roaming through and finding anything even remotely edible.
