The C2H4 molecule is nonpolar as a whole. The individual bonds in the molecule are moderately polar, but the molecule is symmetrical around its center line, and the polarities of the individual bonds cancel each other out at any visually perceptible distance away from the molecule.

Yes. On carbon atom is "filled" with positive hydrogens, and the other carbon in the chain has a negative hydroxyl group. When one end of a carbon chain is positive, and the other negative, or when charges are distributed asymmetrically, the molecule is polar.

No. First of all, no such compound exists, though you can have C2H6 or C3H8

Compounds consisting of only carbon and hydrogen are nonpolar.
