Yes, and I'm not sure (memory can be failing) that anyone in the clan actually does know that they are brother and sister - the brother having been raised elsewhere, not sure anyone actually knows who he is. It's up to the PCs to work out.

Maybe - if it does happen I would expect it to be far les often than for the perpetrator. Oh, and I'm not talking about people who are the victims of direct curses, like the Mad Sultan etc.
