Yes: It is commonly called acephalgic migraine, although the most recent headache classification systems may use somewhat different terminology. A web search for this term should answer your question.

YES: Classical migraine is characterized by an aura of sparkling lights, loss of vision over one side, numbness and tingling unilaterally, and perhaps difficulty expressing speech. Hemiplegic migraine can cause unilateral weakness, which can persist for a lengthy time. All seems stroke-like but typically reverses. Maybe get Concierge visit to address prevention.
