Yes you can break (fracture) your olecranon (elbow). Your elbow is a bone after all. If you suspect a fracture seek treatment asap. An untreated fracture esp of a bone like the elbow (which is integral to range of motion for your entire arm) can lead to further problems in the future.

Well, I believe your elbow is where your upper and lower arm attach...
I don't think it's an actually bone but I'm sure you can pull it. Or break the end of the two bones that join together.

you can as the elbow is just the ends of different bones. if you have an elbow injury, immobilize your elbow -you can just tie it in a position of comfort to your chest. treat the pain with advil or alleve, ice the area, and get to the ER.
