No: That is a very tiny thyroid nodule and would not cause any symptoms and would not be able to be felt by yourself or on an exam.

No: 3mm is small, your carotid is a large high pressure artery with thick muscle walls (~1mm) especially near the bifurcation, and the thyroid sits on top of your throat while the carotids run along the side in a different plane.
