can we use "NO" with a single countable noun?

Yes, that is correct. Book is a concrete, countable noun. If there were no books, it would be: "there are no books on the table."
For singular: "is"
For plural "are"
The exception to this would be for non-countable nouns.
e.g. "there is no milk on the table." No-matter the quantity, we use "is".

Yes, you can. If you were speaking, you would heavily emphasize the "is". This form usually expresses frustration. If you are emotionally neutral you would want to say, "There isn't a book on the table."

Yes, that's fine. Unless you want to say "There isn't a book on the table"

yes as long as you use 'is'. it would be incorrect to say there are no book on the table so it would be: there is A book, there ARE books, there IS NO book , or there ARE no books
