Answer 1

yes it is possible.
but depend on your access to the shared hosting if you have ssh access follow this step:

1. log in to your account by ssh

2. get the node.js tar.xz binaries
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.9.4/node-v6.9.4-linux-x64.tar.xz

3. extract it
tar xvf node-v6.9.4-linux-x64.tar.xz

4. install node and npm
mkdir ~/bin
cp node-v6.9.4-linux-x64/bin/node ~/bin
cd ~/bin
ln -s ../node-v6.9.4-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js npm

5. test the installation
node --version
npm --version

and if you don't have access to ssh you can do this step by php script to run shell command on php you can use exct() function and do the above 👆🏻 steps (no need to step 1)
like
<?php
exec('wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.9.4/node-v6.9.4-linux-x64.tar.xz')

?>
