Yes: Live attenuated vaccines theoretically may infect some whose immune system is seriously depressed, such as those HIV disease or on chemotherapy.But the risk of the diseases causing serious problems is still much more serious.

Depends on variables: Most vaccines are non-living material; tetanus, whooping cough, injectable flu, etc. These can trigger reactions (allergic) to its components but not an infection. Some vaccines are made up of weakened viruses;chickenpox, mmr, nasal flu, and these cause a low grade body response but rarely a true illness. Those with weakened immunity (chemo, hiv) could have big problems with the weakened viral vacc.
