Yes, but the mistake has to be his clear error to win. Also, the contract you have with him, if any, might limit claims to the fee you paid. Check this first.

Yes, assuming that the mistake was something that a competent cpa should not have made and it cost you money. New York recognizes the tort of accountant malpractice.
