Ultrasound scan can detect any semisolid or thick curdy material in the amniotic fluid. So it can detect if baby has pooped. You didn't mention how much was the duration of pregnancy.

It depends on many factors. Consult for detailed discussion. Ultrasound cannot reliably detects pooping but the liquor have flakes or it will become dirty on appearance in ultrasound but not always correct. Indication of C- section could be many.
