Yes. A dialect is a variant of a language that is characteristic of a particular group of people. This means that any particular regional variant of a language, like English, is a dialect. An accent, by contrast, is a variation that is "colored" by the characteristics of another of the speaker's languages (for example, a person who speaks Chinese and English may have a Chinese accent when speaking English).

No: it cannot be a dialect of itself! However the British Isles is notably rich in regional dialects and accents of English, as well as the surviving Welsh language and considerable contributions from Gaelic and Celtic - though these dialects are sadly, slowly flattening as people now move around in their lives far more than their ancestors did.

Travel only 150 miles North-westwards in England from London and you hear a very different general accents. Travel the same distance North, through the East Coast counties, and it is different again. It does though, take a trained, usually native, ear to differentiate between local variations which can be marked over as little as 30 miles.
