Yes, and there is no such thing as a crossover cable, all you need to do is
connect them together with a standard cable, and it will work fine. Also,
in this configuration, you should be able to push the MTU up to the max
(64k, I think), since you won't be going through a switch or anything.
Well, it depends on what we understand as crossover cable.
In every scenario you need to connect A-transmit to B-receive and
A-receive to B-transmit. In good old days of ESCON all plugs were
duplex and all cables were crossed to achieve the above. In LC and other
modern plugs world it's quite common to get 2x LC simplex plug so you
decide how to plug it. Of course your choice does not mean there are
more than one proper way to do it :-(
BTW: different cables for copper (UTP) ethernet also connect Tx to Rc,
but usually ports is switch are already "crossed over" so straight cable
is OK. However there is no way to connect to Gigabit Eth (copper) cards
without a switch, even using crossover cable.
