Sure you can. You will just go fast oom in ret gear.
Not really. Low level gear barely has any stats on it anyway and at lvl 15 you usually don't even have pieces equipped in all slots.
Being ret or holy shouldn't make any significant difference at that level.

Healers get mana regen from their their base mana pool and the effects of Meditation which is 50% of their Spirit based regen rate. Even if you switch to the secondary spec set as Holy, your Spirit regen is going to be terrible in Ret gear. because that gear tends to have no Int or Spirit.
That isn't to say it isn't impossible to do this at low levels but even swapping a handful of healer items should help out a lot. If you really want to play in a hybrid way, learning this stuff at low level is the time to start collecting fully sets of both, learning how to spot valuable gear in both configurations as well as how to manage both sets.

When I was leveling my lowbie paladin as prot i q'd as tank/dps/heal and it was easy either way. In very low dungeons you can simply CS, WoG whoever needs heals and it works. This only works til about 30 but now you can dual spec there too so ya lol. You will often find yourself doing pretty high dps as well in the low environments assisting in making the run go faster. (i just used healbot to use WoG on whoever needed it so I could maintain dps and just click whoever needed heals. Also in very few situations you will actually need to heal but you shouldn't really go oom at very low levels)
