Yes. If the lower note isn't an open string, use the thumb for the lower note and use the third finger for the higher note. If the lower note is an open string, use the open string for the lower note and use the fourth finger for the higher note if you want to be in first position.

The short answer is no, but the two have some important connections. First, the bass guitar is pitched a full octave below the cello.

The lowest note on the Bass Guitar with standard tuning is The lowest note on Cello is the C at around 64 Hz , also called C below C below middle C. It's just off the bottom of the bass clef.

Can a cello play lower than a double bass?
No. A double-bass is normally tuned to E A D G (same as a bass guitar, or an octave below the bottom four strings of a guitar) while a cello is tuned to C G D A, an octave below a viola, starting at a pitch two semitones below than the double-bass' D string. In fact some orchestral double-basses go even lower than E - to the lowest C on a piano - via a mechanical extension, or to low B via a fifth string. The cello was originally the bass member of the violin (or more correctly viola) family, and the double-bass (originally a member of the viol family) was so-called because it was pitched even lower. There is in fact now a "missing member" of the violin family - a "tenor violin" pitched an octave below the violin - which was in use until the mid-18th century. "Cello" is short for "violoncello", Italian for "fiddle-big-little" ("viol[a]" + "-on[e]" + "-cello") in other words a small bass fiddle, while a double-bass is called "violone" ("fiddle-big") or "contrabasso".
