The official answer to both of these questions is NO. Please, it's time to move on now.
From the EM2012 official web site:
Which parts would you have liked to improve even further?
I know that modding is quite an important topic for the Emergency community. In the past, we have been able to support this by providing an editor. We would have liked to do the same this time around. However, for one thing, the technical requirements have become a lot more complicated and sophisticated. It takes experienced staff these days to work with our internal design programs. Also, it is, of course, a matter of resources. We cannot simply publish our tools and, since we are not a large company, we are forced to set priorities in development. We cannot produce a marketable game that features outdated graphics, and players' demands on usability are constantly increasing. Therefore, we decided to focus on those two aspects in order to be able to continue the Emergency series at all.
TL;DR translation: We know people wanted this game to be moddable. But we didn't do it. And we won't.
So please, stop asking if this game is or will be moddable in any official way. It's not and it will not be until further notice. It is not impossible that eventually, one or more community members will work on homemade tools of their own, but I am currently unaware of such efforts, and you have to assume that until someone makes an announcement to that effect, there are no efforts currently dedicated to making EM2012 moddable.
With that in mind, please make an informed decision when purchasing this game. If you enjoyed the vanilla EM4/911:FR experience, even with its limitations and without gameplay-enhancing mods such as the LA mod or Winterberg, then this game is suitable for you. Otherwise, move along instead of making outrageous claims that you have been "cheated out of your money". Part of making a purchase is being informed, by getting all the necessary information and reading reviews before buying something, instead of relying on hype and rumors.
