Answer 1

Yes, it is. You will need to persist their API Key in their user record eg in the Database then in your Api script just switch in the variable

Web Forms

<script type="text/javascript"
  src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=<%=User.ApiKey%>&sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
</script>

MVC

<script type="text/javascript"
  src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=@Model.UserApiKey&sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
</script>

Might be worth in your Getter that if their APi key is null, then switch in your default.
