No.
God doesn't exist and Jesus, if he existed, is a dead guy. John was written by a man named John or someone writing for him (as was common in those days). It really doesn't matter what superstitions John believed.

Jesus is God; not the Father, but part of God.
The Holy Spirit, being a spirit and all, is the only member of the Trinity that can "possess". God doesn't actually manipulate your body and suppress your free will as demons do, but He does reside in the 'Temple' and try to make sure it's Holy; however, man has his free will, so the temple can be defiled, though God hates it like that. Sweet and bitter water can't come out of the same spring...
why does it say "We"? the Trinity is One; 3 in one. Same will, same desires, same power, same everything but roles.

In a manner of speaking, we become his possessions when we accept Jesus as Lord. That verse is talking about the Holy Spirit indwelling a person. It is a remarkable life-changing moment.

You are referring to the opposite of demonic possession, right? Yes, by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Yes. Those of us that are possessed by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, this is why we are supposed to be brothers and sisters.

Fiction. Nothing can possess a person.
