No. This is not a new deductible IRA contribution. Rolling it over allows the income to continue to the tax deferred instead of being taxable. That's the benefit of the rollover.

No. You have already taken pre-taxed dollars of deferred income in your 401K so you cannot claim it as an additional contribution in your IRA.
