Water is the most common liquid used to dilute solutions (reduce their strength). Adding anything to water will not change its properties, only introduce other chemical properties. That is, if you added alcohol to water, you would be diluting the alcohol, not the water. You can moderate some of the properties of water by heating or cooling it, or adding solid solutes to make a gel or suspension.

No. By diluting a substance, you only make the concentration of unwanted material less. However, it cannot purify the substance because it does not remove the unwanted material.
