No, because they are both acids. Sulfuric acid would only undergo an neutralization reaction when it comes in contact with a base (sodium hydroxide, baking soda, etc).

When you mix sulfuric with hydrochloric acid, the only thing that would happen is that the sulfuric acid would dehydrate the hydrochloric acid, causing it to release nasty fumes of hydrogen chloride gas.

Yes, sulfuric acid can neutralize hydrochloric acid because it is a strong acid that can donate protons to form water and a salt. When mixed together, they react to form water and a salt, effectively neutralizing each other.
