No.
The whole point of traps are that they are used for
transmitting information from the server (agent) to
the client (trap receiver), *WITHOUT* this being
initiated by the client.

No - the device will respond using a Response PDU.
Traps having nothing to do with this.

Please see any book on SNMP for more details.
