No: Just flush your eye out with copious amounts of fluid. If persistent symptoms, call an eye doctor.

Probably not: See the package warnings to be sure. However, most likely whatever powder got into your I will be easily washed out by your normal tears. If you like you can use some over-the-counter tear supplements to accelerate this process.
