Fish of the family Poecilidae, yes that includes Mollies, don't have the mouths to cause serious damage to each other, or other fish. They can peck at each other, but the worst that could happen is a guppy with a small rip in the tail. They can, however, eat fry. Fish of the family Poecilidae will spend more time showing off and "pushing" each other with their tails than actually fighting.

I'm going to say no because live-bearers do not have the jaw strength to inflict true damage on each other. However, they are prone to eating eggs and fry.

It's not uncommon to eat smaller fish; it's best to keep them separated.

Do male mollies fight with another male mollies?

no,your probably thinking about simese fighting fish. Answer- Mollies could fight if they wanted to. My mollies fight when they are intruding their partner. They will chase each other and nip each other. They don't kill each other. Don't separate if they chase each other. They are just showing who is the boss of the tank. If they are missing fins and scales you should separate them.
