Answer 1

PDFs are different. There are text ones from which you can copy-paste fragments of text. And there are - sets of scanned pages (in pirated copies of books this is all the time). If you can still find utilities for the former, then for the latter the only way is to disassemble into bitmaps, run through OCR and save the result in Word format

Answer 2

No way.
It's like a picture in a raster and in a vector. A vector image (doc) can easily be converted to a raster image (pdf), but back a raster image to a vector one... well, there are tracers, but the results of their work, frankly, are #oops...
