Absolutely not! You would be impersonating someone you are not, which under a number of circumstances can lead to legal issues, prosecution, dismissal from organizations, a ruined reputation, etc.

Yes, of course. Some will place the abbreviation (Dr.) before their name, but more often the abbreviation after their name when used on documentation, and business cards. In other words, John Smith PhD. Still, he/she is a doctor and entitled to use that title. The title is not exclusive to medical doctors.

Yes of course. The PhD is a doctorate. Therefore anyone earning that degree is referred to as Doctor. Thus, for example, Dr. Joseph Hall, or Joseph Hall PhD.
