Unlikely but possibl: It only takes one sperm cell to fertilize the egg. Pre-ejaculate theoretically does not contain sperm but I would be hesitant to give a blanket No answer not knowing 100% if this was "true" pre ejaculatory fluid with absolutely NO sperm cells in it or not.

Potentially yes: Most older studies have shown low levels of sperm or no sperm in pre-ejaculate with sperm not being motile (however, don't know how promptly samples were examined). However, a study published in 2011 showed that there are some individuals with a high motile sperm count in pre-ejaculate. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3564677/
