Yes, gold can be hammered into sheets. A piece of gold the size of your thumbnail can be hammered into a sheet the size of a tennis court. Gold can be milled or pressed down to gold foil. This is the thinnest millage for gold and can be 50 times as thin as the human hair. It is so fine, your breath can break it.

No, helium cannot be hammered into sheets. Helium is the only element that cannot be cooled sufficiently to become a solid.
