No, there are different licensure requirements between PTs, ATCs, and PTAs…one cannot fulfill the official role of the other. However, ATCs can work as a physical therapy technician which is an unlicensed position that typically requires direct supervision by a PT and usually pays about $17,000 a year.

Depends on their licensing/credentials, which may vary from state to state, but not usually. And the same is true vice versa. ATC’s usually have no problem working as PT assistants, though.
