1) Can we implement FMC in cluster?
2) Can we deploy FMC in Active/Active HA mode?

Sorry it support only active/standby
From cisco doc.
The FMCs support Active/Standby high availability where one appliance is the active unit and manages devices. The standby unit does not actively manage devices. The active unit writes configuration data into a data store and replicates data for both units, using synchronization where necessary to share some information with the standby unit.

You have 2 Option
1. Either keep them separate and manage then based on the location using single FMC
2. Make them Active / Standby so - all the FTD will be managed by HA FMC
Same concept Standby means wait for Active to Fail so Standby become active.
EDIT
you can also consider cloud :

Thank you so much for quick answer. Please help me to get solution for below:
Suppose I have 6 FTDs and 2 FMCs on different locations.
Is it possible to deploy as below:
FTD 1, FTD2, FTD3 configured on ------- FMC 1
FTD 4, FTD 5, FTD 6 configured on ------ FMC 2.
Is there any possibility to configure
FMC 2 as standby for FTD 1, FTD 2, FTD 3 and
FMC 1 as standby for FTD 4, FTD 5, FTD 6

check the document for the requirement of HA :
what is the need of Active/Actice - this is FMC Management tool only manages the devices.
