Answer 1

It's possible, but only using third-party plug-ins or applets, most of which are not free and limited to a platform (PC / Windows mostly, and some even to Internet Explorer, although there are ActiveX wrappers for other browsers, too.)

Check out the answers to this question. They should give you a good overview about what's possible.

Answer 2

It is impossible to use scanner from the JavaScript on the client unless you have a special browser interface for that. No major browser have built-in support for that -- only via plugins.
