Possibly, but only if you do significant upgrades to your base OS install.
The Warp4 level drivers are not up to the job.

They don't. What may work is a sector by sector copy of the drive to a
similarly sized drive or to an image backup file on some other drive.

>-- Q.3: Is there an OS/2 driver for Mac partitions?

Not to my knowledge. Mark's discussion of diskettes does not apply to
harddirves and ignores the fact that he can only read part of what's on
the diskette.

Get a Mac.

>(i.e. portable between Mac and OS/2)?

There is no univeral DVD format regardless of platform.
