No. Until the sea level rise at the end of the Pleistocene, Tasmania was part of mainland Australia and it is still attached through the shallow Bass Strait.

No, the Australia and Tasmania sit on the same tectonic plate, the Indo-Australian plate. For them to be drifting away from each other, there would have to be a continental divide between them, and it would have to take the form of a volcanic mountain range rather than a trench between, but there's not.
