Answer to Question 1

No. If the sum of the forces on an object are not zero, then the CM of the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. If the sum of the torques on the object are zero, then the object has no angular acceleration.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
