Yes, many have. It does help to be distant and out of the wind direction from the burst.
No, a single nuclear bomb could not wipe out the Earth. However, it could cause catastrophic damage to a specific area and have long-lasting consequences such as radiation effects and environmental contamination.
The biggest bomb was the Tsar bomba, it used around 50MT (megatons) of TNT which is the same as all bombs dropped in WW2 times 10x, it was capable of destroying 30-40 miles of territory without any large deposits of radiation.
That depends on many factors and the type of effect:yieldburst height/depthif burst is subsurface, material around burst (e.g. dirt, rock. concrete, water)weatherterraintype of constructionetc.

Because its a nuclear bomb, it can kill millions of people in a matter of minutes.
The number of people killed by a nuclear bomb depends on various factors such as the size of the bomb, the distance from the blast, and the preparedness of the population. A single nuclear bomb has the potential to kill hundreds of thousands to millions of people instantly or through long-term effects like radiation exposure.
The radiation LD50 of most insects is far higher than the LD50 of mammals.
