Answer 1

Typically no, if someone was born in North America people would usually specify by saying United States, Canada or Mexico.

Answer 2

Yes, if you were born in North America, you could call yourself a North American.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many people born in North America identify themselves with their country rather than their continent. They would say "I'm a Canadian", "I'm American", or "I'm from Mexico" when asked where they are from. However, it is still correct to call yourself a North American if you are born in this continent.
