Yes, you can really do so and there would be an advantage. You will get a missile which fires itself from outer space and could travel grave distances. That's not a joke, its really possible! Give it a try just if you could. You can even do it with a small rocket used for fireworks!

Rockets were used for delivering warheads before they were ever used for satellites.
Russia's early satellites and manned spacecraft all were launched on variants of the R-7. The R-7 was designed as an ICBM, and is still in use today in Russia.
America's first satellite was launched on a Jupiter C missile, the first man in space was launched on a Redstone missile, then later capsules were launched on Atlas missiles and Titan II ICBMs. Not until the Apollo program did manned and unmanned satellites start being launched on a dedicated satellite launch vehicle, but even then the Saturn rocket series did start out as a US army project.

Yes. Rockets were primarily developed for that very purpose. A missile is essentially a rocket with a warhead attached.

Sure, John Glenn was launched into space with an Atlas rocket, which was designed as an ICBM.
