Yes. If you've installed the cvsup (or cvsup-without-gui) port or package
you will find sample cvsup control files in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/.
Therein you'll find a stable-supfile which is almost exactly what you
want. Make a copy of that as a template, and then edit it.
You'll want to find the line that sets the tag to RELENG_4 and
instead set it to RELENG_4_6.
Then issue the command:
cvsup -h cvsup3.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/yoursupfile
Adjust the hostname to one suitable for your needs / routing or pick
a digit at random. :)

No.

look in /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh, you'll see something like:
TYPE="FreeBSD"
REVISION="4.6.1"
BRANCH="RELEASE-p10"
