Can you use a cb radio antenna for am-FM radio?
Sure, you can use it; but it might not do a very good job. If you're listening to AM, you're receiving between 0.5-1.6 MHz, whereas FM is coming to you at 88-108 MHz. The CB antenna is designed to be resonant at 27 MHz.
Do people still use cb radio?
Yes, many people in the word still use a CB radio. Truck drivers use CB radios each day.
Can you talk to a walkie talkie using a citizen band radio?
That depends on what type of handheld radio you're using. They do make handheld CB radios. They have both 40 channel handhelds, and single channel handhelds (some of which may actually be three channel with the purchase of additional radio crystals). The single channel handhelds typically use Channel 14 as a default. FM radios, such as those used in FMRS, GMRS, Business Radio, emergency services, etc. do not use the same frequencies as CB radios, and cannot communicate with them.

Would a Car CB Radio work with handheld CB radios. I know that they have a different frequencies compared to the regular walkie talkies. Would there be a problem using handheld and car CB's together?
Look on the packaging or labeling on the hand-held. If it operates in the 27 MHz Citizens Band, then it's electrically identical to the ones in the car, and it can talk to all of them. If it operates in the 49 MHz Citizens Band, then it can't.
