A governor cannot veto an earmark if that earmark is legislation passed by Congress. If the earmark is proposed by that governor's state legislature, then the governor can veto it. However, if the earmark is a state one and if the state legislature passes the earmark over the governor's veto, then there is no further veto power.

Yes, although the more proper term is "line-item" veto (also called "partial veto"). It allows an executive (such as a president or governor) to nullify particular portions of a bill without vetoing it in its entirety.

Line-item vetoes are allowed for the governors of 44 of the 50 U.S. states, excluding Indiana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Beginning in 1996, the U.S. president had this power; a federal court decision in 1998 nullified the president's line-item veto capabilities, though.

Maybe. It depends on the particular state you're talking about. Some states give governors that power, but not all of them do.
