Yes, when it's paired with a wall membrane that directs seepage down into the drain. Loose mortar or stones should be repointed first so the wall stays sound.

No. Discharging groundwater into the sanitary sewer is generally not allowed and overloads the city's older combined system. It should go to the yard or an approved storm connection.
