Sorry. I tried to find some information for you, but I came up empty handed. :^(

It depends on what the variable capacitor is used for and what is the range of it. If it is used to help tune something then you are stuck with what ever frequency the capacitor's value will give you. If you know what value of capacitance that you need, then you might be able to hit it with a set value capacitor.

Yes and no...

With capacitors, if you connect them in parallel, you add the capacitance. For example, two 50pf in parallel will form 100pf.

If you connect them in series, you half the capacitance. Two 50pf in series will form 25pf.

Doing this in various combinations, you *can* make it not exactly variable, but form all sorts of capacitance.

But realistically, the circuit will be too complex and stray capacitance (in wires, etc) will have too great of an impact to make it unpractical.

So... technically, yes, but realistically, no.
