Yes, you can. If you are uncomfortable with that, say "The year 2006 was a banner one."

You have to spell it out for it to be grammatically correct. But yes you can, because the year (2006) is the subject of the sentence, and I believe it is also a noun in this context.

Yes, but spell out the year. You never begin a sentence with a number.

I do teach English, and you are never supposed to begin a sentence with a digit ... usually the best way to edit this is to reword the sentence so you do not have to write out "Two thousand six" ... it's too cumbersome, really. So I would reword it so that the year doesn't come at the beginning.

Yes. 2006 is the name of the year.
The only time you would spell it out is if you were referencing the amount of something, i.e. "two thousand and six people".

I'm not an English teacher, but that sounds ok to me.

You can do anything you want to do, don't listen to those who tell you otherwise.
