They can, but it is the males that are more likely to learn to whistle.
Contrary to popular belief, female cockatiels can learn to speak, it's just not as common as males.

Lutino cockatiels are a colour not a gender. However, it does happen that because of the genetics and chromosones they are most often female although there are some males lutinos around (or there wouldn't be any left.)
I have a pet cockatiel, and after a week she won't shut up. She doesn't really sing, but whistles alot. If you whistle the same thing over, she'll learn how to say it. I taught her the wolf whistle, it's really funny! Male cockatiels are more vocal, though.
Yes, that's how you get more cockatiels.
Yes, they can learn.
