There may be some brands that have similar sizing, most likely by chance, but overall brands can have very different sizing to their shoes. Even different shoes from the same brand tend to have different sizing.

For me the fit of climbing shoes has always been the same based on the shoes. I haven't changed my shoe size since I started climbing a few years ago, even when I try on shoes I already have, like the Evolv Shaman 2, I still find that the best fit is the same size I got when I first bought them a few years ago.

You can, but why would you? Climbing shoes in general are not comfortable and can be painful, walking in them usually doesn't feel any better.

Though, in some cases walking in climbing shoes can help soften them up a bit at the beginning of the session, but even that is usually very limited.
