Milk is produced only by mammals (I think), while millipedes are arthropods (Arthropoda is a phylum, and the phylum mammals belong to is Chordata). However, many animals can be "milked" for things other than milk (notably snakes for their venom), and some millipedes produce a poison when threatened.

Yes, but it's a very tricky operation. What you have to do is attach the proboscis of a mosquito to the end of a straw. Once you have achieved this, you then use miniature bellows to suck desired amount from your millipede and syphon into a thimble. Hey presto, job's a good un.

Unfortunately millipedes don't produce milk, they produce golden syrup, much the same way bees produce honey.

Highly doubtful.... by the way... how many nipples does a millipede have

only if you have the proper equipment the little milking machined needed are really expensive or even purchasing all those little buckets could be difficult :)

If you have "piano-playing" fingers you might stand a chance.
Chubby-fingered folk need not apply.
