Yes it can. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is an alkali, producing hydroxide (OH-) ions in solution, which will react with hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid to form water (H2O) in a neutralisation reaction. It is commonly used in acid-base titrations, for example by using a known concentration of Sodium Hydroxide to determine the concentration of an sample of acid.

Yes, if it's a matter of physically being able to do it, then you can mix anything together that you want. Sodium hydroxide is a base and vinegar contains acetic acid (weak acid), so you would end up with a neutralization reaction.

Yes. Be careful when mixing them, though, as the reaction may produce a large amount of heat.

Both of them are strong alkali and they do not react with each other. It would produce an ionic mixture that has potassium, sodium and hydroxide ions.
