Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.
negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.

it would flow more easily through a narrow pipe
A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.
Water flow rate half inch PVC pipe 65 psi?
Assuming that the pressure remains at a constant, reducing the diameter of the pipe will increase the water flow. On the contrary, increasing the diameter would cause the water to flow at a much slower rate.
Hello, Velocity in a pipe is the flow divided by the area. If the pipe is full, the area is simply pi*r². Here is a useful calulator for full pipes: http://www.tasonline.co.za/toolbox/pipe/velocity.htm
Insufficient information, one needs to know the pressure of the water entering the pipe, the relative heights of both ends the pipe, the pressure of the water at the discharge of the pipe, the geometry of the pipe including the number and types of turns, and the pipe material or internal friction coefficient. Then you can calculate the flow.
If you close all water shutoffs or all water faucets and the water flow indicator on your water meter is moving, then you might have a burst pipe. Also, if your pipes are frozen, no water is coming out of any faucets, and your water flow indicator on your water meter is moving, then you probably have a burst pipe. Hope this helps.

Negative pressure
Liken volt and amp to a water in a pipe. Voltage is the water pressure in the pipe and amperage is the water flow through the pipe. They are two completely different electrical units.
