Yes

The answer to both questions depends on the client that you are
running. The client is the JavaScript that runs in the browser.
Picking a client that is appropriate to your needs is important (and
sometimes hard).

In order to select multiple features, you will need to use 'classic'
MapServer, not WMS, as WMS does not support multiple feature selection
(someone correct me if I am wrong). One client that does support
multiple feature selection and 'classic' MapServer is dBox.
