http://www.bipm.fr/enus/3_SI/si-derived.html gives both the full

Again no, since ton (1 ton = 1Mg) is no official SI unit, so it can't
get a prefix. :-b
Yes, with or without a prefix it is not a SI unit. However metric ton
is often used with a SI prefix (kiloton, megaton). A nasty consequence
is that ft = 10e-12 kg = ng (:-))
