Yes. If you're worried about pushing the crank too far up the taper, the way to fix that is by reducing the clamping force, not adding a bunch of friction.
No. A stem clamp is a different kind of fit. You might want something in there to dissuade electrolytic corrosion, but it doesn't need lubrication.
