No. Family is a few ranks below Class - in Classes, there are Orders, and in Orders there are Families. So animals of different Classes can never be in the same Family.

No, organisms in the same family belong to the same class. Family is a taxonomic rank below order and above genus, while class is a higher taxonomic rank than family. Organisms within the same family share more recent common ancestry than those in different families.
