Yes. Tigers along with any mammal (except for horses because they can't burp) that eats, burps. It's usually caused by the act of swallowing air while swallowing food or drinking. Also the food breaking down in the gastric pathways creates gas. At times, the inability to burp is dangerous, even deadly as with horses. For more details, please see the site listed below.
Spasmodic colic is believed to be the most common cause of intestinal colic. Spasmodic colic can be caused when a hot horse drinks cold water. It can also be caused by fear or stress, therefore flighty, nervous, high-strung horses are more susceptible to spasmodic colic than a calmer, more laid back, "bomb proof" horse. Impaction colic is very common as well. It can be caused by the horse eating a lot of feed or roughage such as hay and/or grass and not having enough water to drink. It can be caused by bad or moldy feed or the horse not chewing its food properly (another reason to keep your horses teeth checked) There is also Flatulent Colic, also known as Tympanic colic. It's more the indigestion type colic which causes a lot of gas and pain, normally caused from eating too much grain or grass or eating moldy or bad feed.
Infantile swallowing pattern refers to the way in which infants aged 0-4 months swallow when eating. It is characterized by a tongue thrust reflex, which causes the tongue to push food away from the mouth instead of toward the back of the throat. The infantile swallowing pattern is a natural part of the development process and is not generally a cause for concern. However, if it persists beyond 4 months, it can be a sign of a disorder such as dysphagia.Infantile swallowing pattern is characterized by the following: Tongue thrust reflex, which causes the tongue to push food away from the mouth The infant may be unable to control the rate of swallowing, leading to choking or gagging The infant may be unable to coordinate the muscles in the mouth, throat and esophagus to swallow food properly Food may be pushed back into the mouth instead of being swallowedIf the infantile swallowing pattern does not improve with time, a professional evaluation may be needed to determine if the child has dysphagia or another swallowing disorder. Treatment may involve exercises to strengthen the muscles used in swallowing or changes to the texture of the food. Parents should always consult a doctor if they have any concerns about their infant's swallowing.

No. Swallowing air is not a good thing. It has zero benefits. Aerophagia is the term commonly heard when someone refers to swallowing too much air. If you swallow too much air it can cause (painful) intestinal cramps, abdominal pains, and you'll belch excessively. If only we could live in the Willy Wonka world.
No. You need nutrients to live. Air is just good for your blood.
