No. Descendants are your biological children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on. Some people call these blood relatives, but not all your blood relatives are your descendants. For example, your first cousin is a "blood relative" but not your descendant.
On the other hand, everyone is descended from someone, so everyone is a descendant - just not yours.

If your ancestors are from Asia, outside of the Indian Subcontinent (Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh), there is a 1 in 50 chance that you are a direct descendant of Genghis Khan.
You have asked an interesting question. There are different answers depending on the context in which the question is asked. The scientific and legal meaning of descendant is all the persons who have descended from a common ancestor. In this context, a step-child would not be considered to be a descendant. However, for purposes of inheritance, a legally adopted child and their issue are considered descendants. A step-child in a blended family who has not been legally adopted is not considered an heir at law. To a genealogist who is researching a family line, an adopted child would be noted as adopted and not a descendant of the blood. Similarly, to a medical researcher who is examining a troublesome medical history, an adopted child in the family line would not be considered a descendant.

A person's descendants are the children that he or she has. Siblings are not descendants. Of course, everyone has biological parents from whom they are descended, so in that sense everyone is a descendant of someone. But your sister is not your descendant. She is your parents' descendant.
Inlaw
No. A daughter-in-law is not related by blood. A lineal descendant, in legal usage, is a blood relative in the direct line of descent.The laws of intestacy recognize a legally adopted person as an heir at law for purposes of inheritance. For example, Vivien had three biological sons and one adopted daughter. They and their children are considered her descendants for purposes of inheritance. Their spouses are not.
