No. The programming specification for the part specifies that
both Vdd and MCLR start at 0V. See figure 2-2 in the
programming specification here:

Nope. To properly program the part Vdd should start from 0V.

Wouter's pointing out that in order to meet the specification
Target power needs to be able to be turned off.
