A single wheel pulley means that the rope you hold has one attachment to the load so the force is the same as the load, just in a different direction. So lifting something means you could actually apply the whole of your weight to the rope, rather than just the strength of your muscles. (Multiple pulley wheels mean that the same rope tension is applied to the load several times, so the force you apply to the rope is applied to the load several times.)

A pulley system that has multiple pulleys in line with each one having its output drive the next will increase the force. This would be called a tackle pulley.
I'd go with simple machines. Specifically, probably a pulley (or pulley system).

Change the direction of force and multiply the force.
no it can't.
Yes. The IMA of a movable pulley is 2.

A fixed pulley does not make the force applied easier, it changes the direction of this force. For example, instead of bending over and lifting and object, a fixed pulley lets you lift it by pulling down on a rope.

A Pulley is basically a kind of lever that can be used to change the direction of a force. Properly used, a pulley or system of pulleys can multiply forces
