No, dew is liquid water and it forms when the air temperature drops sufficiently that the air can no longer hold all its water vapour. This must be above freezing point. Of course the same argument applies when the temperature does drop below zero, but then we get ice crystals instead of water drops, and we call it frost.

Yes, but it forms ice crystals rather than drops of liquid water. (Check your windshield.)
