Anything with calories can help you put weight on. Problem is, if the calories aren't needed by muscles (because you aren't working out or lifting weights) that added weight will just be fat. There's really nothing special about protein drinks- you can get such protein from other sources, it's just that protein drinks are are convenient.

yes with caution. the body will start burning stored fats causing ketosis which is very dangerous on the kidneys. the person can develop gout which is deposits of crystals of metabolised protein on bones, a painful disorder. Deaths have been caused by protein drinks over a long period of time.

Both. Proteins are the building blocks to life. Consuming protein rich foods and working out, breaking muscle fibers that is, causes the protein to repair the muscle thus making it bigger. Large muscles require many calories to maintain therefore losing weight is easier when you have muscle mass. If you do not eat, your body will consume it's own fat as energy then muscle when the fat is absent.
