You could but it would only push colder air, the cfm of the fan is matched to the BTU's, increasing that will only cool the air more.
Definitely not. The plastic blades in the duct fan are not rated for the potential heat coming off the furnace, particularly at the plenum. You will notice that all blowers are on the return air side. This is for a reason, to keep the blower motor cooler.
