A bruise is blood the has escaped from the vascular system via trauma or other means. The clots you refer to are clots that remain in the vascular system and travel to your heart, lungs, or brain. Therefore, No a bruise cannot kill you without other circumstances going on

It is not a blood clot. It is where blood has come to the surface of the skin due to small capillaries being broken and then the blood reabsorbs into the tissues over time. If a person were to have an injury such as broken bone or a large hematoma(bump) there is always a possibility that a blood clot can form.

No, because small vessels break and bleed to the skin, they stay there to cover the bleeding capillaries.
If a major vessel breaks because of the trauma it is an hemorrhage and it is different.
