Yes, and no. Your body might go into starvation-mode, and turn anything you eat into fat cells to store vital energy and nutrients needed. Otherwise, as your body is burning mroe calories of energy than it is taking in, energy sotres in fat cells will be used. This method, however, is dangerous and not a good form of dieting. It can lead / is anorexia, which can be a potentially fatal problem.
Kind of, but not really. At first the body will drop a little bit of weight because it isn't getting the nutrients it needs but after a very short time, the body will say to itself "hey, I'm not getting food, I have to hold on to everything I already have and save everything that is incoming" and it will begin to save everything already in it and any food you put in it.

You may begin to experience constipation, stomach cramps, etc. Not eating actually slows your metabolism, which will not only make you tired but will inhibit your ability to drop weight.

Of course there is the extreme of denying the body all food and water, as though you were trapped on a desert isle without food or water but I don't think this was what you were going for.

It is far better to eat healthy than to not eat at all, even skipping meals like breakfast throws the body into "I need to save what I have" mode.

The short answer: NO.
