Yes: Pharmacist can inform your doctor about misuse of meds, if you have consumed them quickly enough to get an earlier refill, or for a suspicion of forging the prescription.

YES: Most health care providers are legally obligated to inform prescribers of suspected misuse/abuse of scheduled medications such as pain killers/narcotics. These medications can be highly adictive and can result in long term complications if abused.
