yes, there are many art forms which don't rely on your drawing skills. Ceramics, blacksmithing, metal casting or other forms of metal working, weaving and other fiber arts, photography, computer art are all kinds of art in which you don't really need drawing skills. The drawing skills may be beneficial, mainly because they teach you to see, but not essential. Some sculptors I know are not very good at drawing but make gorgeous sculptures.
And then there are artists who play theater or musical instruments or compose music or so on. Not all art is based on skills with a pencil, and not all art is visual.

While Picasso was able to draw very accurately as his early pictures show and drawing reasonably accurately is very useful if you want to record real scenes and people, there have been a great many paintings that were laid out with rulers and masking tape including Color Field and the works by Mondrian.
This assumes that by artist you mean painter.

Of course you can! But even the great artists like VanGogh took lessons to improve their rough areas. They took art classes at local studios and worked with other artists to learn new techniques. Many often took classes in anatomy to aid them in drawing a human figure more accurately.
I doubt if Cezanne's tilted tables would be considered accurate but his style influenced many other artists including Van Gogh who painted a similarly tilted room.

Yes, and you can learn to draw more accurately as well.
Learning to draw more accurately may also help your art as once you find that you can accuately portray things in reality on paper, then you may also find that you can more accurately portray what's in your head on paper.
I found the book "Drawing on the right side of the Brain" to be very helpful in this.

I have a relative who fills detergent squirtbottles with old paint from the dump, and then gets drunk and makes something on a canvas. It's not accurate, but maybe it's art.

Yes. You too can be a cartoonist. Heck, you're well qualified as a webcomic creator if you can just pick up a pen!
