Highly unlikely.
Water entering the system is the most likely cause.
Excessive crank case blow by caused by worn piston rings

No, putting gasoline in a diesel will destroy the diesel engine.
The diesel knock is damaging because it will have a tremendous force on the main bearings and will cause excessive wear of the piston rings.
This will be caused by either worn wheel bearings or worn outer cv joints on the driveshaft which will eventually give out if not dealt with immediately
Because a diesel ignites due to the heat caused by the compression pressures in the diesel engine.
Engine over full, diesel in the oil, excessive blowby.
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.

No. A petrol or gasoline engine will not run on diesel fuel.
Yes it is possible to push start a diesel engine vehicle.
