No, throes is a plural noun. It has no singular form.

Although it is usually seen as the plural throes, there is no reason why the singular throe, meaning a pang of pain or a paroxysm cannot be used.

Yes, "throe" can be used to describe a severe spasm of pain or emotion, often in a singular context such as "in the throes of passion" or "suffering from a throe of agony."
