No. The switch needs to support LACP for auto-configuring bonded links.
You might even find an unmanaged switch capable of such, but it won't be a
dumb switch by any means.
Your best bet is a managed/"web" switch that lists 802.3ad/LACP support in
its datasheet.

Yes. Even LACP for autoconfiguration is not usually enabled by default.
