No, but a finger joint is part of your anatomy.
The most numerous type of joint in the body is the synovial joint. These joints are found in areas like the knees, elbows, and shoulders, allowing for a wide range of motion due to their fluid-filled cavity and surrounding capsule.
Metacarpophalangeal joints of digits 2-5 are condylar or condyloid joints. They are biaxial and move in two planes. The metacarpophalangeal joint of the first digit (thumb) is a hinge joint. They all articulate between the heads of the metacarpals and the bases of the proximal phalanges. It the joint of the knuckles.

It's a birth defect. My daughter has no pinky knuckles and no knuckle on her left ring finger. They are the very bottom knuckles, also her knuckles fingers are stunted slightly. Look closer at your fingers they may be abnormally short, but don't worry this just makes you awesome. :)
Cracking your knuckles releases the nitrogen from in between your joints.
no, "elbows" are a joint between your upper and lower arm
From the nail down the distal phalances, distal interphalangeal joint, the middle phalanges and then the proximal interphalangeal joints. The base of the finger is comprised of the proximal phalanges and the knuckles.
No. Cracking the knuckles does not damage tot he joint.
