Probably not. Antibiotics work to kill off bacteria. Botulism is caused by neurotoxins formed by Clostridium botulinum. The bacteria might not even be alive when the disease hits.
You get botulism from a toxin produced by bacteria
Also - it can enter the body through a wound contaminated by the organism and the organism needn't be present if the toxin has already been produced. Infants may get it from eating unpasteurised honey but most botulism occurs after eating improperly canned or cooked foods.
There is no vaccine for botulinum toxin. However, botulinum antitoxin is available.
Not usually.
yes
Botulism isn't caused by a bacteria; it's caused by a poison. Antibiotics wouldn't be directly helpful in treating it.

Antibiotics

Influenza is a viral disease and antibiotics do not affect viruses, only bacteria.
botulism
Botulism is one of the most deadly toxins known.
That is the correct spelling of "botulism" (a type of food poisoning)
No, unless it's infected. Antibiotics only help to kill bacteria, they won't speed healing time.
