Since you mention IEWDS, I presume by "dominant" you actually mean "dominated".

Any strictly **dominated** strategy would satisfy the condition defining weakly **dominated** strategies and hence be called such. And yes, strictly dominated strategies can (and should) be eliminated in the process of IEWDS.

The possible typo notwithstanding, any strictly **dominant** strategy would satisfy the condition defining weakly **dominant** strategies and hence be called such.
