A solvent cannot dissolve. You can dissolve a solute in a solvent, e.g. you can dissolve sugar in water - sugar is the solute, and water is the solvent. You cannot dissolve water though.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
This depend on the solute and the specific solvent.
because there are 2 totally different types of molecules, you have the polar and apolar molecules. the polar molecules will only dissolve in a polar solvent, the apolar moleculesin a apolar solvent. this is the reason why oil doesn't mix with water. oil is apolar and water polar

Is there a specific need to make PC crack ? or Are you getting the situation with any particular solvent ? This detail will help us to explore further.
Depends on the base liquid of the marker. You would have to use a solvent of it that will not mar the polycarbonate.

- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
A liquid that can dissolve things is a solvent. The thing being dissolved is a solute.
Solvent
No; the solute is dissolved in the solvent.
The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. The solvent does not itself dissolve because it is (usually) already a liquid. There are special cases. For example, it is possible for a gas to dissolve into a solid, in which case the solvent is a solid. Even then it is still true that the solvent does not itself dissolve. Only the solute dissolves.
It is a solvent liquid. For example, water is a solvent as it can dissolve sugar crystals (and many other things).
