Well first of all, you'd be very lucky to catch one because they are very fast. But yes only if you know the chipmunk doesn't have rabies or any other disease that you can get if it bites you.

yes, they are amazing pets. i have 9 and they like to play around and eat lots of nuts. they are better pets than chinchillas, although chinchillas are much fuzzier. you can teach chipmonks to do sweet tricks like get a nut out of a matchbox. if you raise them from birth they can be tamed.

Yes, chipmunks do bite. No matter how friendly one may seem, it is suggested to never handle a wild chipmunk as they may have rabies which can be transferred through a bite.

They feel most comfortable when being held from beneath the legs, supporting the groin and the chest

Chipmunks can be purchased and kept as pets. However, they are very mischievous and require a lot of special care, so they may not be the ideal pet for every household.

How many sunflower seeds can a chipmunk hold in its mouth?

Considering the size of a Chipmunk and the size of a sunflower seed it would depend on whether the seed was shelled or not. If not shelled, from my own recollection in looking at the mouth of a chipmunk I'd say not over two at the most. Now shelled that is a different story all together.
