Yes it can, it uses a chemical fuse which is not affected by water, the water pressure will tend to deaden the force of the explosion, but there will still be the fragmentation effect.

Yes. The explosive compound in the grenade does not need air for it's chemical reaction to occur.

Yes. Once the pin is pulled the fuse and the chemical explosive do not require oxygen to do their stuff. In water, the schrapnel will not go far but the concussion of compressed water will definitely do some damage.

Some can. Some can't.
Those that can doesn't use black powder instead things like aluminum powder. Gunpowder don't blow when damp.

Try it. Pull the pin out and throw it in the ocean.
