I don't think I've ever seen socks or T-shirts that weren't (machine) knitted. Knitting produces more stretchy fabric than weaving so it's better for garments that fit closely.

Yes. Dress shirts and jeans are common examples of woven fabrics.

There are also some technical fabrics that are neither woven nor knitted (nor crocheted) fabrics. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonwoven_fabric
