1. Is it possible to have two or more different IPs assigned to the
same physical host name (DNS Record Type A)?
2. If yes, is it possible to assign different metric weights to
prioritise traffic to one link over the other and also to provide fail
over redundancy - ie if connectivity with one

Yes, it is possible to have more than one A type records for a host
name. See RFC 1034.

Yes, it is. And it is a common way to distribute traffic over multiple
servers. DNS clients would normally use the different A records in a
round robin manner.
