Yes. It just won't be able to say WHO that father is without the alleged father's DNA (unless they get an old strand of hair from his hairbrush or something).

Siblingship Test
A siblingship test is a DNA test conducted to determine if two children share one or both parents (i.e., if they are half or full siblings). It is an indirect way to determine family relationships when an alleged father is not available for a paternity test. Results of a siblingship test may be used as proof in Social Security benefit and other inheritance claims.

Yes, I believe it is possible. I read an article from National Geographic they tried to trace if the current population of Lebanon is decended from the ancient phoenician people by examining the sperm of the men over there.
So, the answer, I believe is yes.

It can tell with a certain probability, yes. It won't be as definite as if they had the father's DNA.
