Buffer solutions can be created to (try to) keep any pH constant, not just 7. It all depends on the identities of the acid and salt (or base and salt) that you mix.

A buffer answer is one which resists variations in pH even as small parts of an acid or an alkali are further to it. A buffer answer will be acidic or alkaline, so it would not ought to have a pH of seven. A buffer answer merely resists variations to the present pH aspect.

Yes, up to a point, if it is a pH 7 Buffer. However, there are also pH 10 buffers, pH 4 buffers, etc., and each of them is designed to keep solutions at or near the pH that corresponds with their name.
