Yes, see https://docs.aws.amazon./sns/latest/api/API_Publish.html for example:

https://sns.us-east-2.amazonaws./?Action=Publish
&TopicArn=arn%3Aaws%3Asns%3Aus-east-2%3A698519295917%3AMy-Topic
&Subject=My%20first%20message
&Message=Hello%20world%21 
&Version=2010-03-31
&AUTHPARAMS

Where AUTHPARAMS is the result of the AWS Signature Version 4 signing process

Yes, you can. The Amazon SNS API is accessible and works using an HTTP protocol. All SDKs are just utility tools to make this munication easier.

As you can see from the AWS SNS API docs here, it is a matter of sending a POST request with correctly formulated HTTP Headers and body.

POST / HTTP/1.1

You may learn how to sign and build correct requests in their docs (link provided above). So, you don't have to use SDK, and make your own requests. But, I would suggest using the SDK, since it addresses many security issues for you.
