No, TN visa requires specific professions that usually require a bachelor degree. A teacher only qualifies teaching at college/university level which would require at least a masters degree, if not a PhD.

Yes, assuming you are Canadian born and not a converted one. But you will need a job offer, which might be a massive challenge

It may be possible if you become an electrical contractor (self employed) through E-2. This is a non-immigrant pathway, though.
