Can a felon retail firearms?

No. Aside from the federal law which states that a felon may not have access to, be in possession of, or purchase firearms, anyone who handles firearms in that shop must be covered under the shop's Federal Firearms Licence - any employees who are included under that licence may not handle firearms in that shop. No convicted felon is going to be approved for that.

Is it illegal for a civilian to have a fully automatic weapon in the US?

It is possible for a civilian to legally own a full auto firearm in the US, but it's a bit more complicated than a "yes/no" answer would imply. The National Firearms Act was passed in 1934, which set up a system of licencing and tax stamps for certain classes of firearms and destructive devices. In 1968, under the Gun Control Act of 1968, the further importation of fully automatic firearms for civilian sales was prohibited. Thus, an imported full auto firearm must have been imported and NFA registered prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968 in order to be transferable to civilian buyers. As a stipulation for passage of the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986, domestic manufacture of full auto weapons for civilian sales was ceased (this included imported rifles with enough US parts to be 922r compliant). Thus, a domestically manufactured/converted full auto must have been manufactured and/or converted prior to the passage of the Firearm Owners Protection Act in order to be transferable to civilian buyers.
