Default indexable milling cutters

I haven't used any indexable milling cutters yet, and have some
questions.

First, are indexable end mills that take triangular inserts really end
mills in the sense that an ordinary end mill is an end mill? That is,
do they mill on the end, or just the side? If not, then aren't they
*really* small diameter 90 degree angle face milling cutters?

Second, does any company sell 45 degree indexable dovetail cutters?

Thanks.
