It's unlikely. To know for sure you would need to check your local buildin g inspections office. They probably have a mechanical inspector and if he' s in a good mood he might just talk to you. Or if you are in rural locatio n one guy might cover all the trades.
Seems highly unlikely. Assuming that you are in the U.S., the "B-vent" pipe that you have going up the side of your house has to go up past the roof line by a specified amount depending on the slope of your roof etc.
