Yes, they can be used together. The most common example for this is "Could you please pass me the sugar?"

In my opinion, yes. Although "could" may be asking about physical ability ("Could you lift 100 kilos?"), it is also commonly used to make a request. The "please" adds politeness to the request.

I agree with Nicole - it's definitely polite and acceptable to use both!
