It's a "bit" more complicated then that. Wine executes code in windows binaries. And if they are 32-bit Wine also have to be 32-bit. You should read some FAQ and documentation about Wine. It explains how Wine works and clarifies these basic misconceptions.

Yes, it's possible. However in this case Wine will be able to run 64-bit windows applications only. But not 32-bit. Also note that Wine64 is still highly experimental and have lots of issues.
