Is this fact in canon? That seems to be the legend but I don’t think it was ever explicitly confirmed.
I don’t have my copy of HP7 or Tales of Beedle the Bard, but the Elder Wand article in the Harry Potter wiki seems to cite Dumbledore disagreeing with this statement in his commentary on Bard.
Yes, but it’s not clear that this means the same thing. Killing in their sleep somebody who relied on the Elder Wand for protection makes you the new master of the wand, but you didn’t defeat them in a duel.
