1. Yes.
2. Yes and no. Be is a [url=]present subjunctive[/url], which is still used in English even though it isn't as common as it once was. (The Wikipedia site gives Let there be light as an example of the present subjunctive. In my grammar be used in connection with let is a present infinitive.)
