Yes. There is no constitutional barrier for a Catholic being prime minister of England. However, Catholics cannot be made king or queen of England. (Act of Settlement). Practically, though, England has a history of anti-Catholicism and it might not be possible to have one at this current time.
See the end of this article
""There has never been a Roman Catholic prime minister of Britain, although there is no constitutional barrier to such a move. ""

I think so, but I don't live there so I really couldn't say. Religion has really lost its impact on government over the years. The people and party leadership have focused less on the religion of their candidates and more on what they're actually going to do for the country.
