Yes you can do this [1].  You would export your data from an excel file to a CSV and then use the dataloader [2].  There are some app exchange apps that will do it also directly from Excel [3] but I've never used them so I cannot tell you how good they are.

Yes, you should try the data loader.  Go to setup, data management, import data
