Nobody reversed the engines anytime during the night Titanic was struck, but briefly, the engines were turned on.
Yes, she was steered (unsuccessfully) but the engines were not reversed.
The engines did not fail. Unfortunately they drove Titanic into the iceberg with resounding success.
No. Upon learning that an iceberg was ahead, the captain ordered the crew to reverse the engines, and to steer to the side, but if he would have ordered to have the ship sped up instead, the ship would have most likely have missed the iceberg.
It is believed that had the Titanic hit the iceberg head on that it would have avoided the sinking. There is also another theory that it would have made it if they had not reversed the engines which caused it to slow down and made the turn harder to make.
Titanic was steered (unsuccessfully) to avoid the berg but the engines were not reversed.

Only Seconds From the time the lookouts sounded the alert, the officers on the bridge had only 37 seconds to react before the Titanic hit the iceberg. In that time, First Officer Murdoch ordered "hard a-starboard" (sharp left turn). He also ordered the engine room to put the engines in reverse. The Titanic did bank left, but it wasn't quite enough.
Captain Smith of Titanic DID listen to iceberg warning and ordered a more southerly route to avoid the reported icefields.
I don't know what you mean. If you mean who could operate the engines then any senior officer while he was on watch. If you mean who was the officer who reversed the engines when Titanic hit the ice burg then it is 1st officer William Murdoch.
There was no regice on the iceberg Titanic hit.
