Yes: Sexual fluids containing sperm are often released before the "main load".

Certainly: ...Your sperm needs to enter her vagina during or around the time she was ovulating. At times, there is the rare chance that "pre ejaculate" or "pre-cum as a slang" has some sperm cells in it, so please do not rely on the Pull-out method for Birth Control!
