No. The whole idea behind Snapmap stories is to share content in a somewhat public way (since it's on the map) but keep the viewing part private. Snapchat doesn't have a mechanism for story creators to see who has watched their Snapmap stories. This helps in maintaining a sense of anonymity for the viewers. It also encourages more people to engage with the stories as they don't have to worry about being noticed for just looking at them.
No, they can't. Snapmap stories are set up so that your viewing activity remains private. Snapchat wants to make sure that users feel comfortable exploring the different stories without the fear of being tracked or having their views known to others.
