No and No.
As said, it is possible to track a "bookmark this" link (as it is possible to track all links on your page), but the js for bookmarking used by most links aren't even crossbrowser compatible. Besides, this method will only count the bookmarks bookmarked through your bookmark link, it won't count the bookmarks bookmarked through any other bookmarking methods (ctrl+d, through the favorites menu).
Detecting if someone already has bookmarked a page seems impossible to me, as bookmarks are stored on your system. JS normally isn't able to read your localfiles, so isn't able to see what you've got bookmarked or not.
