Answer 1

No, you can't roll back ALTER TABLE statements.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/cannot-roll-back.html

Some statements cannot be rolled back. In general, these include data definition language (DDL) statements, such as those that create or drop databases, those that create, drop, or alter tables or stored routines.

(emphasis mine)

As Chris Peters comments above, you can do the reverse ALTER TABLE operation, and then clean up your data using UPDATE statements.
