For any creature to be able to breathe, there has to be something to breathe.
Space is vacuum, an empty nothing. No creature can get anything from nothing.
So no, a turtle wouldn't be able to breathe in space.
Unless you provide it with an atmosphere, like in a space station, space ship or a space suit.
Then a turtle most likely would breathe just fine.
No, box turtles cannot breathe underwater. They are terrestrial animals and must come to the surface to breathe air. They do not have the adaptations to extract oxygen from water like aquatic turtles do.
A turtle needs air to breathe. Some turtles can slow their metabolism, allowing them to sleep underwater, but it must come up to the surface of the water in order to breathe. It can hold it's breath and stay underwater awhile, but it must surface to breathe or it will drown.

Some aquatic turtles such as the red-eared slider can hold their breath for 3-4 hours, which might make you think that they are breathing underwater, but they really are not.
No, when alligators go under water, they are holding their breath.
No. All reptiles, both on land and in water, must breath air. Marine reptiles can hold their breath from a considerable time, but must surface to breathe once in a while.
Only a few species of turtles have cloacal bursae that are rich in blood vessels and can be used for gas exchange. The vast majority of turtle species do not either have these cloacal bursae, or if they do, they cannot use them for gas exchange. Please refer to the end of the article I am added to related links.
