A) Yes. Planeswalkers can still be attacked even if they're creatures.
B) Yes, you can have Elspeth, Knight-Errant that's a creature block a creature attacking a Tamiyo, the Moon Sage that's also a creature. The end result is that when combat damage is dealt to Elspeth, it results in both damage being marked on her (since she's a creature) and that many loyalty counters being removed from her (since she's a planeswalker). See this ruling on Gideon Jura for a similar situation:
6/15/2010 If you activate Gideon Jura's third ability and then unpreventable damage is dealt to him (due to Unstable Footing, for example), that damage has all applicable results: specifically, the damage is marked on Gideon Jura (since he's a creature) and that damage causes that many loyalty counters to be removed from him (since he's a planeswalker). If the total amount of damage marked on Gideon Jura is lethal damage, he's destroyed as a state-based action. If Gideon Jura has no loyalty counters on him, he's put into his owner's graveyard as a state-based action.

A) Can my planeswalkers even still be attacked now, since they're creatures.
B) Can my Elspeth Block the creature attacking Tamiyo?
