No. Atomic bombs were used during WW2 in Japan, but they were "fission" weapons, which derived their destructive power from splitting apart the nucleus of an atom. Hydrogen bombs derive their destructive power from "fusion" reactions, or the merging of two Hydrogen atoms. This is the same chemical reaction that powers the sun.

Hydrogen bombs were tested for the first time on November 1, 1952.

No, there were not. Atomic weapons were not used in warfare until the end of WW2 and Hydrogen bombs have never been used in warfare at all.
