Yes, by using the OBTAIN FIRST/NEXT within area/set name command. However if you have more than one record type in the area, or a multi-member set you won't know what you have. You should only use this on one-record type sets/areas.... and really for the sake of maintenance and clarity you shouldn't really ever use it.

Sure. Obtain next with AREA. As is an AREA sweep.
