Answer:
You are right, I mean, you can certify ISO 27001 for a limited scope of your organization, and you can exclude, for example, the cloud environment. But, if you have implemented ISO 27017/2018, which is simply a code of best practices with specific controls related to the cloud, it is very easy to extend the scope of the ISO 27001 to the cloud environment, because these standards only include some new security controls. So, in this case, our recommendation would be to extend the scope of the ISO 27001 to the cloud environment.

Regarding your second question, there are some certification bodies offering certifies against ISO 27017/27018, although are not regular certificates like ISO 27001, ISO 9001, etc.
