The larynx is the voicebox. You can live without them. People that develop throat cancer sometimes need to get a hole drilled there so that they can talk. This procedure is a tracheostomy. Without a larynx, you can live but cannot talk without aid.

No. Not unless you get fed directly to the stomach.

No, without the trachea air would not be able to get to your lungs. Therefore you would not be able to breath and you would not be able to live.
