Yes. Just name the list, say TheList. Then when you setup the Data
Validation cell, select List, and in Source, type "=TheList" without the
quotes. HTH Otto

Yes, just give the source data a defined name and use that defined name as
the source:

Sheet2 A1:A10 = defined name List

Drop down list in Sheet1 A1
Source: =List
