It really depends on the recipe. I think in a glaze, it would be fine; in a frosting, it might be disaster.

If it's just a simple powdered sugar glaze, go for it. Use a little less than called for at first though, because whipping cream is thicker than half and half.

It can, just understand that you're not going to get as creamy of an ice cream in the end if you had used whipping cream. I've made ice cream with plain old milk in a pinch and it was....fine.

Half & Half might work in place of whipping cream in some recipes. For example, if whipping cream is used as the liquid in a buttercream frosting, Half & Half would work very well. But in any frosting that requires the cream to be whipped up to provide fluffy volume, Half & Half would not work.

What can be a substitute for butter cream?

There is no substitute for sugar when making butter-cream frosting. However if you use melted chocolate your frosting will still work, it'll just be a little different. Butter-cream frosting cannot be made without sugar. Melted chocolate will not produce a butter-cream frosting, but will produce chocolate spread over a cake.
