Can Acrobat create a fillable form from an Excel file, including form controls, ActiveX controls, and text manipulation formulas?

It's not a straight line from Excel form to PDF form.  They are completely different animals. You're better off designing and building the PDF form from scratch.

Add form fields and scripts in Adobe Acrobat.

ActiveX controls are not supported in PDF files.
