No, because B&W positive print film isn't made in Super-8.

Yes, that would be called an 8->16 blow-up. A lot of labs can do that
including Cinelab and Colorlab. It will be more expensive than a contact
print but not unbearably so.

I think what Andec has been doing has been buying 35mm print stock and
slitting and perforating it for Super-8 themselves. So they have an
available print stock that nobody else has.
If you ask them, they might be willing to do contact prints of your B&W
original onto color print stock. I have done this before with 35mm and
the black quality is not as good as with B&W stock, and it can be contrasty
if you aren't careful, but it might be worth trying if what you want is an
8mm projection print.
