Not if you want it to continue working. They are held on by tiny plastic pieces that allow the key to sort of spring back up a little. I have popped a key off mine but luckily i didn't break the underlying parts. I got the key back on. I would not recommend glueing it. I would take it to a repair shop and let them do it.

My laptop guru says probably not since they need 'bounce', and the glue will likely get into the wrong place and stop the key from working. Some keyboards allow you to "snap in" replacement keys, mostly not though. Look at yours carefully, or ask the mfr on their web site.
If it's not the snap-out snap-in type, try glueing it! If you fail, you'll still need to replace the keyboard, just like now!!
By the way, keyboards are about $30 (some higher) and a moderate tech can replace it in minutes. It's not mega-dollars.

Yes but it would be tedious to get it right and if you mess up, you cannot fix it. You can superglue (or krazy glue) the key directly onto the rubber nipple (yes that's what the rubber thing is called) and center it to align with your other keys. Of course, the key will not match up at the correct height, but it is still better than pressing the rubber thing.

You probably can, but I would not recommend it. It probably wont work! However, you can buy replacement keys for different laptops. Search google for replacement keys for the (put the make and model of you keyboard) keyboard. You can buy them online, or ask in a PC shop.

Just pop it back on, no glue required.

yes, they just pop on, if the tabs are broke, go ahead just be careful not to let glue drip inside.

I don't know why not. Just get some superglue and go for it.
