Well yes and no. When you finger a note on alto and tenor the notes in the relative key (Bb for tenor and Eb for alto) are fingered the same way. So a C on an alto and a C on a tenor are fingered the same way, but sound different. On tenor it's a concert Bb, when on alto it's a concert Eb. But for fingering purposes and just generally learning the instrument, yes.

No it can't. Alto Saxophone reeds are significantly smaller than Baritone Saxophone reeds.

No, you can't. You need an alto reed on an alto mouthpiece. Tenor reeds and mouthpieces are much bigger than those of an alto.

No because the pitching will be different from B flat sax to Clarinet my advise is leave the reeds for sax for the sax and use the Clarinet reeds for the Clarinet

You might get a sound, but it wouldn't be very satisfactory.
