Yes. Companies like Microsoft, HP, and Norton leave holes in the computer software they produce allowing hackers to break into them over the internet.
+++ The Internet is about the only way it can be hacked, unless the hacker has personal, physical access to a terminal on the specific system such as a company's internal network.
Most hacking is covert, some is overt by fraud. A typical ploy for the latter is to telephone unsuspecting private computer owners and say "I'm from the 'Windows Corporation' and your computer has reported a fault". Fall for it, and you end up giving the hackers remote control of your computer via the Internet.

an attempt to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to a computer, computer system, or electronic communications network.
By definition, no; the computer would not have to be connected to the internet.
I believe what you mean is can a computer be tampered with remotely if it is not connected to the internet. No, however if the computer is part of a wireless network, other computers connected to the same access point are capable of tampering with the connected computer.
