Not interactively, but you can easily do so with the program 3dUndump with something like:
3dUndump -master ~/abin/MNI_caez_N27+tlrc -xyz -orient RAI -prefix amyROIs amycoords.1D
where amycoords.1D contains these two lines:
18 8 -12 1 5
-28 8 -12 1 5
Also, is it possible to combine both

Sure you can get your seed time series from any ROI even if it is not formed of contiguous voxels, but not interactively.

Use the program 3dmaskave to generate the average time series from the errts dataset using the amyROIs mask generated above. You'll want to use the -q option in 3dmaskave so that you only get the average time series out. See the example in the output of 3dmaskave -h_view
