Yes. It has elastic potential energy.
One can produce a soft, high-pitched sound from a stretched rubber band by snapping it. It is easier to accomplish this if the band is stretched very tightly.
The force that is applied when you stretch a rubber band between your thumb and forefinger is pushing force. Pulling force is achieved when you stretch the rubber band with one hand by pulling it away from a surface where it is attached.
The elastic potential energy gained by the rubber band is the work done by you in elongating it. Positive work is done on the rubber band, so it gains energy. While work is done by you (i.e. negative work is done on you), so you lose some energy. The total energy is conserved. In simple words, the energy gained by the rubber band is the energy lost by you while elongating it.
when we stretch rubber band we apply a force on it and this force is stored in the band in form of potential energy and when we release our hand potential energy converts into kinetic energy an thus hits our hand with greater force.

This is hard to measure because you need to know the rebound of the rubber band and the force pushing against it, e.g. if you were under water the force will be different.
No. You also need to know the properties of the rubber band - specifically, how much it stretches for every unit of force applied.

A rubber band will , approximately, stretch an amount "x" in direct proportion to the force "F" applied to it. So you can write this as an equation, F = KX . To find the proportionality constant "K" , hang a known weight "W" from the rubber band and measure the stretch "L". then divide W/L = K . This is called "calibrating" the rubber band.
Elastic potential energy.
moving force
a rubber band changes shape under force and regains the same shape when the force is removed.if excessive force is applied it breaks therefore yes
