Yes. Default telnet port is 23. The web server can't likely handle a telnet request.

Yes, you should be able to telnet to port 80. However, you won't see any response from a server because you are connecting to a web server. It will keep waiting for your request which will be a HTTP request. I have done it in the past but I don't remember right now the format of the HTTP request which has a very specific and unforgiving format.
Normally these HTTP requests are handled by your web browser and include some information about your system such as user agent (browser type), referring site and any cookies that might belong to that site. You can also telnet to SMTP, POP3, NNTP, FTP servers and more provided you know the command/request structure of them.
