Yes it can. Many quartets of the Classical period followed a sonata-form structure.
They use the same instruments as all string quartets: two violins, one viola, and one cello.
The first movement of the following multi-movement genres in the classical and romantic periods is almost always cast in sonata form: Symphonies Concertos String quartets and other serious chamber music genres Solo sonatas (e.g. piano)
'Allegro' means 'quite fast and lively'. There is no such thing as 'allegro form', and what I think you may mean is 'sonata allegro form', which is another version of the more common 'sonata form'. This is the form in which most first movements, and some last movements, of classical and romantic symphonies are written. The form is also used for such genres as string quartets, piano sonatas, and so on. It is described in detail elsewhere on this site.
in the classical era. usually used by Mozart and haydn. and beethoven.
A Sonata piece is four movements (fast, slow, dance, fast), but sonata form is three sections within one of those movements (A B A)
Sonata form is a musical structure used in the 18th century. The three movements of sonata form are exposition, development, and recapitulation.

He greatly expanded the development section.
Sonata form (also sonata-allegro form or first movement form) is a large-scale musical structureused widely since the middle of the 18th century (the early Classical period).While it is typically used in the first movement of multi-movement pieces, it is sometimes used in subsequent movements as well-particularly the final movement. The teaching of sonata form in music theory rests on a standard definition and a series of hypotheses about the underlying reasons for the durability and variety of the form-a definition that arose in the second quarter of the 19th century.[4]There is little disagreement that on the largest level, the form consists of three main sections: an exposition, a development, and a recapitulation;[5]however, beneath this, sonata form is difficult to pin down in a single model.( Sonata Form.

Yes it is, in addition to the regular Baroque string quartet. So in all, The Four Seasons uses two violins, viola, cello, and harpsichord.
