Out of SEAS, you'd most likely be a quant, doing things like implementing machine learning algorithms, doing number crunching, etc. Investment Banking is more the style of job where you make presentations and do some numerical analysis, but most of your time/effort is spent dealing with clients directly.
No. In my experience with friends who went into this field most are jr analysts, i.e. ibankers who make presentations. There are, of course, a few exceptions I know, such as my friend who may be working with JPM in a programming aspect...but he is graduating top of his class in Comp.sci. Most of the really quantitative jobs you either need a masters/phd or need to be INCREDIBLY smart and have an excellent resume to back it up if you only have a BS.
