Answer 1

No. Vikings were Scandinavians. Finns are not Scandinavians.

Answer 2

The Vikings constantly raided along what is now Finland, but did not settle there, so while it is less likely that Finnish People are direct descendants of the Vikings, they were so widespread and, contrary to what the first answer says, Finland is part of Scandinavia, and the Viking Influence and Blood is well spread throughout all of Scandinavia, it is likely there is at least some Viking Blood throughout Finland.
