Nope. A SmilesMolSupplier expects that the input is SMILES, not SMARTS.
Though a valid SMILES is always a valid SMARTS and a valid SMARTS is often
a valid SMILES, the meanings are not always the same. Section 4.7 on the
Daylight Theory Manual page for SMARTS (
http://www.daylight.com/dayhtml/doc/theory/theory.smarts.html) is well
worth reading.
The RDKit doesn't currently have a Supplier that deals with SMARTS.

hmm, I'm not quite sure what you mean here. You can use molecules
constructed from SMILES or SMARTS (or CTAB) as queries:
In [4]: m = Chem.MolFromSmiles('c1cccnc1CCC')
In [5]: m.HasSubstructMatch(Chem.MolFromSmiles('CCC'))
Out[5]: True
In [6]: m.HasSubstructMatch(Chem.MolFromSmarts('cCC'))
Out[6]: True
