If they want to, yes and yes.
Although mental health professionals are supposed to use the least invasive actions/section order needed, they will and can use a 3 for a diagnosed condition they are intending to treat or keep you safe from the effects of.
I suggest you tell the crisis team you need support even if you are not willing to divulge anything else and set up a home treatment plan/contract of things you will agree to do before resorting to self harm and then see how it goes from there.
