It might have from time to time... but it had limited ability to track.

As I type this, DNS Now is currently receiving data from Voyager 1. https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now/dsn.html

The antenna data is https://www.mdscc.nasa.gov/index.php/en/dss-63-2/

No. Or not any more, DSS-43 at the Canberra Deep Dish Communication Complex is the only antenna that can communicate with the Voyagers.
