Does a reflective harness glow in the dark?

No, reflective material bounces back light from headlights or flashlights but does not glow on its own. Pairing it with a clip-on light helps when there is no outside light source.

Can a reflective harness be worn over a dog coat?

Some can, but the harness usually needs to be sized up to fit over the coat. Measure the dog while it is wearing the coat before choosing a size.
