No. Unless you distill it or filter it. Boiling water can kill bacteria or other living organisms, but chemicals remain.

Depends if your going to use the Distilled side of the equation or the boiled water. Boiled water will not eliminate the Chlorine and fluoride but will reinstate it as a different chem.

No, because boiling does not separate the additives from the water, only distillation would do that.
The additives are SALTS, it's not Flourine, but a salt of Flourine, and these soluble salts will stay in the pan while you boil.
In distillation, you catch the vapours, and cool them. The salts stay in the pan, the caught water is salt-free.

Boiling the water definetely gets rid of the chlorine, in fact you can get rid of the chlorine by just letting the water sit out for a day.
I do not think you can get rid of the Flouride without a special filter or chemical reaction.

It eliminates dissolved chlorine gas, but not dissolved fluoride and chloride salts.

Possibly makes them more concentrated. The water evaporates and the halogen salts remain
