Yes. There are scanners designed specifically for this purpose, sometimes called negative scanners (which is mildly inaccurate). They are typically much more expensive than plain old flatbed scanners. You might want to look at the ones made by Nikon, or if you don't mind something used and older, try to find a Minolta film scanner.
Large commercial outfits will use enormous and frighteningly expensive drum scanners for the same purpose. Depending on how many you're scanning, you may well find it cheaper to get in contact with a company that deals with this sort of thing.
Oh yes, it is possible, and has been done for a number of medium and large-format cameras. A digital camera back may be used in place of the film holder. However, it may be slightly impractical for 35 mm cameras, due to the stellar costs involved. I have seen digital backs for Leica 35 mm models, as well as a few home-made backs for Canon and Nikon cameras. Whether a commercial version is available depends on the actual camera in mind.

It really wouldn't be worth it except for some really expensive cameras like Leica Rs or Nikon F6s. By the time you got the thing working, you'd have more money invested than a factory-made digital camera costs.
Converting a medium-format or large-format camera is a different story. A medium format camera uses interchangeable backs so all you need do is remove your film back and put a digital back on. But the cost! If you wanted to put the least expensive Mamiya digital back on your Mamiya 645, it would cost you about $8000. If you have an RB67, the news is even worse: before you can put the multi-thousand-dollar back on your camera, you need to spend $600 for the piece that goes between back and body, which is called a lock. (An RZ67 lock is almost a thousand dollars.)
