I would need to know, if a three band (RGB) 8-bit GeoTIFF can have transparency enabled?

No, there would be no way to know the transparency for a pixel if there are only red/green/blue values available. For that you'll need a 4-band (rgba) image.
I know that it is possible to enable transparency on a singleband TIFF.

In that case you'd have one band containing color indices instead of rgb color values. These color indices than map into a rgba colortable which defines color and transparency for that color index.
Can someone confirm this? Best regards,
