Answer 2

Yes, you can grow basically every crop in the end. All plant types and all crops will grow normally, but they will grow significantly slower, due to the lack of any light source. You can counteract this effect with two options

  1. Light up the area. Besides making crops grow faster, this will also prevent more endermen from spawning as often.
  2. Bonemeal the plants. This isn't the recommended option, as it will take quite a lot of bonemeal for the plants to grow.
