Podkletnov has demonstrated a number of laboratory devices that supposedly work by antigravity. I'm not sure what he's claiming lately, but his original work claimed a reduction in gravitational force of 2%. So far, apparently, no one has been able to replicate his results.
Also, in the absence of a solid theoretical analysis, it is possible that he is really generating some other type of force. For example, T. Townsend Brown's "lifters", long a favorite of antigravity hobbyists, are actually ion wind devices.

no, of course not
you may have noticed that russian space ships still use chemical fuel rockets and nobody uses an anti-gravity propulsion system for anything because there isn't such a thing
maybe someday, but I doubt it

No one ever understood gravity, so a guess no one was able to create something against it.

I do not believe so. It may have been just magnetic levitation or something close to a Bose-Einstein condensate.
