Yes, there are some types of bacteria that carry out Anoxygenic_photosynthesis, which consumes carbon dioxide but does not release oxygen.

Examples include, but are not limited to: Chromatiaceae and Ectothiorhodospiraceae.

Yes. Cyanobacteria, green sulphur bacteria, purple bacteria, and Chloroflexi are all categories of photosynthesising bacteria.

Bacteria do not have chloroplasts, nor indeed any organelles. There is a theory (the "Endosymbiotic theory") that chloroplasts are descended from cyanobacteria that became internal symbiotes in eukaryotic cells.

No there are not any bacteria that can photosynthesize. This process needs certain parts that are only found in plants that rely on sun to properly take place.
