You can make Squid check if the page is in the cache of the other proxy.
This is done automatically by ICP enabled cache peerings.

No, this you can't do.

The query to the other proxy will return the object to Squid, so it will
be the other proxy who fetches the page, and also the other proxy who
composes the "Access Denied" error message.
