I expect the voltage of a Tesla coil high enough for this. As for the
vacuum I don't know. I just heard that flourescent lamps in the
environment of a Tesla coil may be able to produce X rays. But it's
also possible that it's only a rumour. If you know someone who has
equipment to measure this radiation you can ask him if you can borrow
it and perform a measurement while lighting a flourescent lamp with
your coil. But the result may not be assignable to other people's coils.

I'd expct not.
Usual powered XRay sources involve hihg voltages, and high vacuums.
Fluorescent lamps are full of mercury vapour, and run about
40V/foot....
