Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
Of course.

you can't because it is silk and it will break easily actually when wet, silk can be strong as steel.
Silk tends to stain more easily than cotton due to its delicate and absorbent nature. Cotton, on the other hand, is more stain-resistant and easier to clean compared to silk.
it is easier to tie a jute knot than a silk knot because jute is made up of a coarse material and is easier to handle whereas silk cloth is very slippery and is not easily handled by anyone.

Yes easily, it's very shear
Disadvantages of silk: -expensive -shows flaws -shows stains -doesn't conduct heat well -deteriotes from sunlight/moisture -sags -will turn yellow with age
