No. A discharge is not an authorized punishment for a summary court-martial, but depending on your record, they can process you for an administrative discharge afterward.

No.
However, if a Bad Conduct Discharge could be a punishment for the offense(s) at a Special Court-martial, the person can be processed for administrative separation based on a "serious offense." If no BCD, then the command would look to a "pattern of misconduct."
If they try to process for OTH you have a right to a board hearing to fight.
