Some buffer solutions maintain pH at 7, but others have different pH values. It is common to have buffers with pH values of 4, 7, and 10 for calibrating pH meters, for example.
Depends on your pH meter. We've certainly got one in our lab that's happy doing a two point calibration like the one you've suggested. But I wouldn't trust it for anything alkali. If I wanted to measure alkali I'd calibrate with pH7.0 and pH9.0.
maybe because pH 7 is neutral and it wont easily change its pH. buffer is a solution whose pH doesnt change easily by the addition a wek acid/base.
A buffer is supposed to keep the pH of a solution from fluctuating too much. It helps keep the pH more-or-less consistent. Whether it keeps the solution neutral, it doesn't have to be neutral. You can make a solution be whatever pH you want, but different solutions and pHs require different approaches.

Solutions that resist change in pH when added to a strong acid or base are known as buffer solutions.
The buffer can keep the pH stable when small amounts of acid or base are added. - NOVA
A substance that helps to maintain a specific pH is called a "Buffer" it can be either acidic or alkaline depending on the purpose and what needs to be buffered.

Yes, it is possible.
Solutions that resist change in pH when added to a strong acid or base are known as buffer solutions.
When acid is added to a buffer solution at pH 7, the pH of the buffer solution will decrease. However, due to the presence of a conjugate base in the buffer solution, the buffer will resist the change in pH and try to maintain its original pH value. This is because the conjugate base will react with the acid and prevent a significant decrease in pH.
Buffer Resist and Maintains the PH of the solution if there change in the environment of the solution.

A buffer solution.
When small amounts of acid or base are added to a buffer solution, the buffer functions to keep the pH from changing.
it is placed in a buffer solution of 7.0 then it is placed in a buffer having pH 4.0
The buffer capacity increases as the concentration of the buffer solution increases and is a maximum when the pH is equal to the same value as the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer. A buffer solution is a good buffer in the pH range that is + or - 1 pH unit of the pKa. Beyond that, buffering capacity is minimal.
