No you wouldn't be able top because the bone is the one that allows you to move. The muscle on the other hand is more so like the protection of the bone and plus the bone is hard and can be bent like it is the muscle is flabby and almost like the first layer of skin.

Nope. You might be able to make it twitch a bit, since the muscles could still contract, but you would be unable to actually move the boneless limb.
In order to move with any degree of control over your body you need bones to support your tissues and provide a base for your muscles to pull on.

I think that maybe you could sort of wiggle it, but since your muscles and tendons use your bones as a base, they have nothing but other blobby muscles to push against.
Have you read the Harry Potter books? HIs armbone disappears at one point, and his arm "flapped pointlessly." I swear, it's one of my favorite lines ever...

no, because the muscle needs something to pull on to move an appendage. you'd just have something like a rubber finger/arm/whatever

That's a good question.
I assume it would be the same as your tongue, which is a muscle with only one attachment.

yes.
Worms don't have any bones, but they do have muscles.

If you think really hard, you'll be able to answer that question.
