Yes, you can. Use a centre punch first so your drill bit doesn't 'skid' on the shiny surface.
A file tip is attached to the tip of the "drill" and it is used to thin and smooth the acrylic.
You don't
It should NOT be sharpened . If anything,you can drill better holes in acrylic if the bit is slightly blunt.
Acrylic is water-resistant and will not sink in water. However, prolonged exposure to water can cause acrylic to weaken or deform over time. It is best to avoid immersing acrylic in water for extended periods.
Strip heater-to heat up the acrylic so that you can bend straight line edges into it Acrylic drill bits-so that it is easier to drill through the acrylic Square- to check that everything is lined up correctly and is straight Solvent cement-is used to join pieces of acrylic together
Very slowly and have lots of extra drill bits.
To prevent acrylic from cracking when drilling, use a sharp drill bit specifically designed for plastics, ideally a brad-point or acrylic drill bit. Additionally, drill at a slow speed and apply even pressure to minimize heat buildup. It's also helpful to place masking tape over the drilling area to reduce chipping and to support the acrylic piece with a backing material, such as scrap wood, to absorb vibrations.
I would use a "hole saw".

To effectively use a drill bit to sink screws into a surface, follow these steps: Choose the appropriate drill bit size for the screw you are using. Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw size to prevent splitting the surface. Attach the screw to the drill bit and insert it into the pilot hole. Use the drill to drive the screw into the surface, applying steady pressure. Stop when the screw is flush with the surface to avoid over-tightening.
If it's cracked, you can certainly stop it leaking, but I doubt if you'll make the repair look good.
