No, saline is water H2O with sodium chloride NaCl, and water is just H2O
water having bacteriostatic agent is bacteriostatic water. e.g. benzylalcohol
It is not sterile, generally. Sterile means free of contaminates such as potential pathogens. Salt water in the ocean, for example, containes various microscopic organisms. Saline solution is a sterilized salt solution that contains usually only water molecules with ionized sodium and chlorine.
I don't believe there are any contraindications. Normal saline or sterile saline is usually the fluid of choice to help irrigate or debride wounds. It is usually used because it has little to no effect on the tissues. But it is contraindicated when Acticoat products are to be used on the wound, due to the fact that Acticoat has silver in it. It is recommended that sterile water be used instead.

Using sterile water is ideal if that's all you've got to clean your eyes. It's always better to use saline to clean your eyes out, though.
Hypothetically, yes it can. HOWEVER, using sterile water for practicing IM injections will HURT. The sterile water is not isotonic with the cells in your body and will result in both pain and small uncontrolled muscle spasms that will subside in a few minutes. Please if possible use an isotonic sterile saline solution as this should not produce any pain or side effects.
