Yes ...

Process.Start is one possibility.

Yes you can with diagnostic.Process.start(..). you can also pass
parameteres to the process you want start.
For example:

// Starting a new process.
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

public class StartProcess
{
public static void Main()
{
Process newProc = Process.Start("wordpad.exe");
Console.WriteLine("New process started.");
newProc.WaitForExit();
newProc.Close(); // free resources
Console.WriteLine("New process ended.");
}
}

Take a look at this. It will help you
