yes
"Normal" forces push up on a still car. In this case, normal forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the gravitational forces pushing down on the still car.
Equal and opposite forces. Imagine 2 people pushing a car, one at the front and one at the back. If they are both pushing with the same force, the car will not move.
There are forces acting on the car. They are just equal to the force of the car acting on the force. In example, gravity is acting on the car, but the car is pushing back equally. Therefore, the car doesn't move.
Why not ? Take four big guys shaped like barrels, who can push a car uphill with one hand. Now put the car on a flat parking lot and spread the four guys around it, with one guy in the back pushing forward, one in the front pushing backward, one on the left pushing right, and one guy on the right pushing left. Where will the car go ? Nowhere. Even in neutral with the parking brake off. If you remember to include the directionof each force, then all the forces on the car add up to zero.
Moving at a constant speed if your in the car then there are no forces acting on you from the car. If the car accelerates then the car will push you forward and you will feel the Force of the seat pushing you. The only other force on you in a car is gravity witch always pulls straight down. Gravity is always there whether the car is accelerating or not.

No, because you are pushing it.

1. force that moves a car forward is the friction force between the tires and the road (ignoring what is going on mechanically in the car) 2. if the car is travelling at constant velocity, net force is zero - forces pushing car forward are equal to forces pushing car back
Pushing on the brake pedal
Things will eventually stop if there is a force to stop it... and no force that keeps it moving. If there are no forces on an object, or the forces are balanced (the friction forces on a car are compensated by forces that pull it forward), it will continue moving.

Whoa! Force doesn't result from the motion of forces. Let's take it slow. When forces are acting in the same direction, the net force is the sum of the individual forces. Four people, all behind a car, pushing it north. Two men pushing with 200 pounds apiece, two women pushing with 100 pounds apiece. The net force on the car is (200 + 200 + 100 + 100) = 600 pounds north.

out of balance
the force that the car has acting on it counteract in a perfect balance with the forces acting against it.
