Note:I'm just a beginner in python so some things might seem unclear to me so please be easy on me

Answer 1

Firstly, Telegram bot API has nothing to do with user phone numbers. Due to a variety of security reasons, it doesn't give bots access to such information and if we just suppose that, why should it send SMS? It's not the responsibility of a messenger like Telegram.

You can just send users notifications on Telegram or asks them for their numbers, then send SMS by another service.
