Yes.

Legally speaking it's the post that is made redundant as it's not needed anymore so it makes no difference whether or not the person who would usually be filling that post is actually present.

Yes they can. You will need to be contacted by the organisation though in order for it to be formal and therefore legal. You still have the right to attend meetings and see the selection criteria etc. If you cannot get into the meetings then telephone calls would suffice.
