Answer 1

Yes...They are called inline brake levers and they are very easy to remove...you may have to undo some bar tape to get if off though and that can be annoying.

Answer 2

Yes you can. You will have to take everything off the bars to do it. The tape, shifters then the levers. You will also need new cable housings to replace the ones with the split in them for these extra levers.
