No, there wasn't a need nor a requirement for one. Before they put the F-35's in service they rely on other aircrafts such as the E-2C Hawkeyes to do the "stealth" job for other Naval aircrafts such as the F-14's (Tomcats, which are all decomissioned by the way) and the F-18's (Hornets) and many more....
Hope this helps!

Officially, no. The A-12 was proposed, and it was supposed to be stealthy, but never even made it to prototype stage.

YES
edit: just because there is not PUBLIC knowledge about it
does not mean they did not exist. I cannot divulge any more than that or could get into trouble.

No they did not. There wasn't a requirement for one, as far as Naval leadership was concerned.
