Nope. Only stars give off light. Everything else reflects light.

Yes.
For instance, heated items such as lava give off some light, and depending on how you are defining "light", there are sources that produce light that is not in the visible spectrum.
However, all these sources combined are not signifigant compared to the reflection of light from the planet's star.

Actually some planets do radiate emissions on various wavelengths of light. It is not visible light, but ususally radio waves. Jupiter is an example. In fact, Jupiter radiates more energy than it receives from the sun.
