Answer 1

No. You can only create a new dedicated sql pool.

Moreover, the official guide is to use AML service for ML related experiments - both training and inference. Here is a guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/machine-learning/tutorial-sql-pool-model-scoring-wizard

If you wanna use your dedicated SQL Server VM, it can be used as Integration->Integration runtimes->Self-hosted. But that is for data flows/pipelines so totally different objective (ref: Azure Data Factory).
