not directly.
Trees hold soil in place with their roots, which absorbs rainwater rather than letting it flow away into rivers. That's why deforestation leads to flooding in rainy season and draught in the dry one.

Trees do not produce water. They take in water and carbon dioxide and give off oxygen and carbohydrates. That is what happens during photosynthesis. Trees however do move a lot of water around. They soak up a huge amount through their roots and give it off through their leaves as water vapor. This is called transpiration. Sometimes if you cut down a cluster of trees you can end up with a swampy area, because those trees were drying out the soil. Other times, if you cut down vast areas of trees, like the rain forests, you interrupt that water cycle and the rains stop and the land becomes a desert.

No they take up ("drink") the water from the ground and store it, just like you're doing now. It may not feel like it but your whole body is full of water, otherwise you're skin would die and fall off straight away. Your organs would seize up and fall apart. Everything living thing needs water or it becomes brittle.
btw they can't 'create' water because the only way to 'create' water is to burn hydrogen - H + O2 = H2O

kinda of. . . . some of the water they suck up through there roots is evaporated through there leaves so in a way it gets a little more humid in places with alot more plants

NO, BUT ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE LEAVES IS TRANSPIRATION. TRANSPIRATION IS THE LOSS OF WATER THROUGH THE FOLIAGE IN THE FORM OF WATER VAPOR, WHICH HELPS COOL THE LEAVES AND DRAW UP WATER THROUGH THE XYLEM.
