Yes it can, but more serious than that it can kill you. Carbon monoxide will enter your vehicle and you we end up in an accident. I know, this happened to me. I was very lucky and lived. Replace your muffler immediately.
Mufflers only differ sound, not emissions. Same with a resonator.
No. The muffler is a passive component in the exhaust emissions system.
I paid a total of 580 Canadian dollars. They had to do some complicated cutting and installing when attaching the muffler. The muffler cost just over 300, but tax, labor and an extra part really killed my wallet. A muffler with a hole in it will usually cost you lots in gas and you can fail your emissions test. An awful expense when it comes to older cars.
If there is a rotted hole in the muffler please replace the muffler. However, if there is a small hole at the bottom end of the muffler it is there to allow water to escape.

Punch a hole in the muffler. (May cause you to fail a safety/emissions inspection) Ha ha.
No, Do not drill a hole in your muffler! The water evaporate when the car gets warmed up. If you drill a hole in your muffler, The next time it gets inspected it will fail.
The muffler doesn't have much to do with emissions. Some jurisdictions prohibit glass packs for noise reasons, but the exhaust going into the muffler is pretty much chemically identical to that going out. If a vehicle doesn't pass the emissions test with a glass pack muffler, it almost certainly wouldn't have passed with any other type of muffler either.
A hole in a muffler is from two causes. It has either rusted through or been damaged by something hitting it.
