Not really. You can put any name and email on any git commit - it's not tied to your SSH credential or anything. They'd need to be using signed commits.

Sure, but this is company code. There's no way to say they wouldn't obscure this information, but there is a chain of internal controls, presumably at least back to the person who merged the problematic commits.
