Yes effective, but I think it is now illegal unless you have been on a training course and are qualified to spray it!!
I think not. You can buy Roundup concentrate by the litre at any garden centre.

The last time I bought 360g/l Gallup the leaflet set out the legal requirements and I see they are still on websites selling it. The stuff I have seen at garden centres is much less concentrated.
