Yes and yes.

Some of your chords will be a bit stretchier than before but you'll find all sorts of great ideas as you explore

Since bossa nova music has to do with specific rhythms and fairly advanced chord progressions, I don't see why it couldn't be played on a guitar tuned to the DADGAD tuning. But I don't see any compelling reason to play bossa nova in DADGAD, unless that's where you always keep your guitar tuned.

You'd have to blaze your own path if you go that route.

Ah, but sometimes that IS the reason!
