No. That'd be an illegal move.

You are always allowed to capture an opponent's piece, except the king (in that case you tell him he is in or moved into check). The only thing I can think of that would stop you from winning would be if you had an accidental stalemate because you took all of his pieces and left him without a move. It is illegal for a king to move into check. So if you finished your move with his king out of check, but in a position where he couldn't move (any piece) without going into check, you didn't win. If you take all of someone's pieces, you need to be careful that you either have the king in check after each move, or that the king has a legal move left. Another way to put it is that you need check for checkmate. If it is your opponents turn, he isn't in check, but has no legal move he can make, then you screwed up and gave him the tie. Good point about checkmate material Ryan. If neither side has one of these four: a pawn, a rook, a queen, or a bishop/knight combination, then it is impossible to get a checkmate and the game is a draw.

In traditional chess, the answer is no.
But in "Bounce Chess" the answer is yes. In bounce chess, the rules are the same as traditional chess, except when a piece reaches the end of the board it can "ricochet" off the edge and continue until it hits an obstacle just like you're describing.
Bounce Chess is a chess variant. You can look up other variants on Google by searching "chess variants".
There is actually another variant which allows pieces that hit the edge of one side of the board to continue by entering on the opposite side.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

No, only one direction at a time per move.

No way. If it starts in White file, it will finish the game in such coloured squares.
