Yes: The braces might make it a little less convenient for the dentist to use a rubber dam (mandatory) but in no way prevents having the procedure done.

Yes: Hi so if you need a root canal Im assuming you are in pain or discomfort, since braces do not impact the "access" opening where the dentist needs to do the root canal its perfectly safe to perform root canal treatment
