Answer to Question 1

Yes, each is possible. If demand is perfectly price inelastic, for example in the case of an extreme necessity, the tax will be paid entirely by the buyer. If supply is perfectly inelastic, for example in the case of the momentary supply curve, the tax will be paid entirely by the seller.
