Yes it is possible this has already been achieved with fuel cells where H2 and O2 are combined to form water and energy to drive machinery. But to create drinkable water in huge quantity, you would need expensive plants with lot of machinery which is not feasible than simply purifying the water

yes of course! H2 + 1/2O2----->H20. Your hydrogen source can be fuels or hydrocarbons and oxygen will be coming from air! usually produced in a combustion process!
hope that mede sense!=)

Im a little unclear on your question, but yes- humans expel more water than they take in; this is called metabolic water.

Yes you can but such reaction will libarate energy ,,exothermal reaction ,, so the produced water will be in vapour phase (gas) and we must cool down this vapour to have water .

It would be really hard to do that. most of the hydrogen we have is already in water molecules. i'm sure it's possible though.

yes, but it's costs a lot to get it to work
