Answer 1

No, but adding your own marker based on current location is easy:

var myloc = new google.maps.Marker({
    clickable: false,
    icon: new google.maps.MarkerImage('//maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/mobile/mobileimgs2.png',
                                                    new google.maps.Size(22,22),
                                                    new google.maps.Point(0,18),
                                                    new google.maps.Point(11,11)),
    shadow: null,
    zIndex: 999,
    map: // your google.maps.Map object
});

if (navigator.geolocation) {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) {
        var me = new google.maps.LatLng(pos.coords.latitude, pos.coords.longitude);
        myloc.setPosition(me);
    }, function(error) {
        // ...
    });
}
