No. JavaScript is built-in to the browser. It can be DISABLED though - the method to do so depends on your browser.
In Chrome it is Settings | Show Advanced Settings | Content Settings button | JavaScript section | Do not allow any site to run JavaScript

Yes, vulnerabilities in Java can be exploited to install malware without any user interaction other than visiting a compromised website that hosts malicious code.0
