Answer 1
I don't think so but the word "Pharisee" has taken up a connotation that means a person who self-righteously follows minute religious regulations and feels holier than those who don't. There are lots of those.
Answer 2
It is important to note that most Jews today consider themselves the descendants of the Pharisees and of having inherited their interpretations of tradition in the same way that most Christians see themselves as spiritual descendants of the Apostles. But just as Christians do not call themselves "the Apostles", modern Jews do not call themselves "Pharisees".
They were both member groups of the Sanhedrin but they did have some different views on things. The Pharisees would typically have reached out more to the common people of the day. The saducees would have ministered more to he rich and they did not believe in heaven. They were not esencially enemies considering the fact that they all united against Jesus.

Not all Pharisees were that bad since some believed. Paul was a Pharisee. Hypocrisy is bad in whoever has it and the Pharisees were worse since they were the religious teachers of the day and not only should have known better themselves but they also led many astray from the right path.
A goal of modern day religious fundamentalism can be to uphold traditional beliefs and practices in the face of societal changes, to maintain a strict adherence to religious doctrines, and to resist secular influences in order to preserve a perceived moral or spiritual purity.

A Pharisee was a member of the Religious people in the days of Jesus Christ and his life on this earth. Generally, there were two common groups mentioned in the Bible beginning in Matthew 3:7 where the Pharisees and Sadducees were called out as a "brood of vipers." Not only were Pharisees and Sadducees religious groups, they were also strong players in the social scene of the day. They had strong influence over the people (and not generally liked), political influence with those in leadership, and a higher than thou attitude when it came to anything religious. Thus, Jesus and His followers were considered rebels and needed to be blotted out. See the story of the crucifixion for more details.
