First, I'm going to assume you intended to ask "enter your PC" instead of "entire your PC". If that's what you meant the answer is no. Just having an IP address is not going to give you access to someone's computer. Let's use a house as a comparison. The IP address is just like the address to the house, all it does is tell you where the house is located.
Just knowing where a house is doesn't mean you can get inside. Beyond knowing where it is you need to be able to get past all security measures. For a house this may be doors, locks, alarm systems, and an angry man with a shotgun.
Computers also have security measures that prevent people from getting in. These security measures are not fool proof, and just like a home's security measures, may be bypassed with the right equipment and enough determination.
The IP address, however, is not enough to allow you to enter someone's computer.

What will l happen if another PC in the same network has the same Computer Name as PC?
The PC name is known as the Netbios name, PC's can talk to each other using either the PC name or IP address. The network usually has a server/router that provide directory naming service (DNS) which has a list of PC names and there ip address, when you contact another PC by name, you are infact asking the DNS server for that PC's ip address and then talk to that PC by IP address. So two PC's with the same name will mean that PC's on that network wont be able to talk to both PC by name. This could affect Applications running on these machines as some network applications use PC names as a reference and so this may stop applications working correctly on these machines
Is this an ip address 127.16.0.0?
172.16.0.0 is itself a private IP address. (IP addresses from 172.16.0.0 to 172. 31.255.255 are all private IP addresses. Other private IP addresses are 10.X.X.X and 192.168.X.X where X can be from 0 to 255). But it's not usable as an IP address for a device such as a PC or host. This is because it's the first address and, by convention, the first address of a network is used to indicate its network address.
