Yes.
Not usually.
Most FMJ ammo is pointed, and in tubular magazines the possibility of the point of a bullet setting off the primer of the bullet in front of it makes it unwise to load them into a tube magazine.
Bullets for lever actions are usually round ended

How do you load a repeating rifle?
There are several types of repeating rifles, fed by different systems. Some rifle have detachable magazines, while others may have fixed magazines. Of fixed magazine rifles, you may have either a box magazine. or a tubular magazine. In any of these instances, you would load the magazine. If the rifle was fed by a detachable magazine, you would then insert the magazine into the magazine well and ensure that it was seated. Rifles with fixed box magazines, such as bolt action rifles or the SKS, will require you to open and lock the action to the rear, then feed the rounds into the magazine through the open action. Rifles with tubular magazines may have different ways of loading the magazine. Some will have a slot on the side of the receiver which cartridges are fed into to load the magazine. Some will require the end of the tubular magazine to be removed, and for the cartridges to be fed in from the front of the magazine (below the bore), after which, the cap (which often contains the magazine spring) is replaced. Some tubular magazines are fed through an opening in the bottom of the receiver (this is most common with shotguns). Some tubular magazines are inserted through the buttstock, such as on certain versions of the Remington Nylon 66. On these rifles, you would remove the tubular magazine completely from the rifle, load the cartridges into the magazine, then insert it back into the opening in the buttstock and secure the magazine.
Are there any American lever action sniper rifles?
A "sniper rifle" is simply a rifle being used for sniping. As for purpose built rifles intended for use by snipers, there aren't any. The lever action would be undesirable for a sniper, who may often have to fire from the prone position, and the tubular magazines common to lever action rifles cannot accommodate modern long range cartridges which use the spitzer bullets. Although some lever action rifles which feed from a box magazine have been made, they are very rare.

Why is lever action better for rifles and pump action better for shotguns?
They are both lever actions, in a way. It's a question of mechanics. Lever action rifles fell out of favor for a variety of reasons. Difficult to fire prone (lever travel), tubular magazines (blunt lead bullets only), loss of sight picture, I'm sure people can add their favorite. Pump actions weren't very popular for rifles for many of the same reasons. Tubular magazines aren't hazardous for shotguns because of the wide, blunt, plastic ends don't pose much hazard of igniting the round in front of it. The best shotguns in the world, and the best rifles for that matter, aren't lever action or pump, they are bolt or dual barrel.For firepower - Semi-auto gas or recoil w/ spring returnFor accuracy - Bolt/break actionFor a civilian compromise - lever action/pumpI've fired both. For a shotgun, fired at an angle from a standing position, the pump is more ergonomic than the lever. For a rifle, standing on a more horizontal plane, it comes down to preference.
