1) Is there any way to recover account if keystore file is lost?

No. The private key effectively is the account, for all practical purposes.

2) Is there any way to recover account in case of forgot passphrase?

If you remember at least part of your password, then there are tools to attempt recovery, covered in this previous thread:
