No. heres how it works. a charged particle creates an electric field. If an electric field moves it creates a magnetic field as well. and since an electron, for example, is never at rest, it always has a field. The two are intertwined and cant be separated.

One is the casuse of the other.
In fact we can say that there is only elecrtic field in one reference frame and only magnetic filed in another frame and both in a different frame of reference.
It is a matter of convenience.
To make it clear further, if we have a reference frame which is fixed to the magnetic field, one will not perceive the magnetic field and will say that there exists only electric field and no magnetic field.

No. They are orthogonal components of the same thing.
