No, you should not use a car battery indoors.
You can get sealed marine lead acid batteries that are safe indoors.
Technicaly yes you could do that, The battery will act as a Filter/Buffer for the HUM generated by the charger. However When a lead acid battery is charged it produces several gases some of which are very volitile !!! Place the battery outside the window or something, In fact you could place it outdoors with a solar charger and be On the air even during major power outages !
I would never do that. It’s a waste of effort, along with the physical problems.
On 2mtr FM, you are probably at best using a 50 W transmitter.
It is a far healthier proposition to purchase/ build a mains power supply for the job.
