No to the first. Yes to the second, but curl also does http, telnet and some others..
curl parses the URL you hand it and, if it's an ftp protocol curl will do the right thing. The other end has no idea that the ftp client you have chosen is in fact curl.
curl also allows you to specify user and password in the URL
ftp://myusername:email@hidden/newdata/
and also in a $HOME/.netrc file which you create with a list of servers and passwords as text. That's curl's -n option which will allow you to keep the upload command as a comment in an html file ready for execution in terminal.
Unlike Finder Connect To Server, curl allows uploads.
