No you shouldn't. It will fail inspection. Use electrical (grey) conduit. It is about the same price and has the proper electrical insulating properties required. The thicker PVC(schedule 40) is best, although schedule 80 is acceptable. (Schedule 40 is required for underground service feeders.)

Why not, the Plumbing PVC actually has more testing to meet plumbing standards than PVC conduit. Both are made of the same material, so yes it can.
