I doubt it – it would require a huge commitment of resources, and wouldn’t be very easy! Mars – has harsh winters, a thin atmosphere and no oxygen; Mercury, Venus – far too hot..
I think so yes. Scientists are already experimenting with living long term in space (International Space Station) and living in “pods” (under water and Eden Project). Not to mention looking for water on Mars. All these things suggest to me that we have already started looking into living on another planet (may be not in my lifetime though).
