All of those are member of the 'weasel family', Mustelidae. However Sable are not that closely related to those others. While stoats, ferrets, and regular weasels are in the Mustela genus, a Sable is a kind of Marten, which occupies its own genus, Martes.

I don't think so, but ferrets can interbreed with wild polecat ferrets. In Russia, a hybrid was created of a ferret and a European mink, named "Khonorik".

Depending on what you define as a "weasel", there are either 12 or 17 varieties. That is, of the 17 members of the genus Mustela, there are 5 who do not have the word "weasel" in their given name. They are the Stoat, which has weasel in it's common name in some parts of the world, and the Steppe Polecat, the European Mink, the Black-footed Ferret, the European Polecat. The 17 species of weasel (and their common name) are: 1. Mustela africana - Tropical Weasel 2. Mustela altaica - Mountain Weasel 3. Mustela erminea - Stoat (also known as an ermine or a short tailed weasel) 4. Mustela eversmannii - Steppe Polecat 5. Mustela felipei - Columbian Weasel 6. Mustela frenata - Long-tailed Weasel 7.

Mustela strigidorsa - Back-striped Weasel 17. Mustela subpalmata -Egyptian Weasel There used to be 18, but the American Mink has since been renamed Neovison vison. I believe it is the only surviving member of the genus Neovison, as the others were hunted to extinction for their fur.
