It's definitely possible, you just have to pass the View of the Dialog to the SnackBar.

Example

    AlertDialog.Builder mAlertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
    // inflate the custom dialog view
    final View mDialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_layout, null);
    // set the View for the AlertDialog
    mAlertDialogBuilder.setView(mDialogView);

    Button btn = (Button) mDialogView.findViewById(R.id.dialog_btn);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            // Pass the mDialogView to the SnackBar
            Snackbar
                    .make(mDialogView, "SnackBar in Dialog", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .show();
        }
    });
    AlertDialog alertDialog = mAlertDialogBuilder.create();
    alertDialog.show();

Result

Note: There's no need to use a CoordinatorLayout as the root. In my example I simply used a LinearLayout as the root.

Yes, you can.

To show Snackbar inside your Dialog create custom View for it. You can read more about it here: Dialogs/Creating a Custom Layout

Then for showing Snackbar invoke Snackbar.make((dialogView, "text", duration)) where dialogView is your custom view.

If you're using a Dialog then:

dialog_share = new Dialog(MainScreen.this, R.style.DialogTheme);
dialog_share.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
mDialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_share, null);
dialog_share.setContentView(mDialogView);
dialog_share.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.color.translucent_black);
dialog_share.show();

public void ShowSnackBarNoInternetOverDialog() {
        Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(mDialogView, getString(R.string.checkinternet), Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
        snackbar.setActionTextColor(Color.CYAN);
        snackbar.setAction("OK", new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //Toast.makeText(MainScreen.this, "snackbar OK clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
        snackbar.show();
    }

Swiping SnackBar may not be possible when not using CoordinatorLayout.
