It has been suggested that the "Dugong or Manatee" could be the source of the fabled Mermaid. There is however no evidence that there has ever been such a thing as a "Mermaid" which is described as a human head and body with a fishes tail.

No. Mermaids are mythical creatures; the product of the overactive imaginations of sailors.

Can Emily windsnap breathe under water?

Yes, infact, she can. I think it's because she grows gills, but it might be that mermaids can hold their breath longer than any animal! Mermaids (or mermen, or merchildre, etc.) are half-fish, half-human, so it could be either of them, although Emily's friend mentions gills a few times, so I think she has gills. If you'll notice, the first time she leaves Rainbow Rocks with Shone she is surprised that she swam that far with only one breath. Shona explains, saying simply, "We're mermaids." So, the simple answer to your question is 'Yes'.
