No. Lying requires an intent to deceive. The Lie detector is just a machine, it does not have emotions, so it cannot intend to do anything.
They can be innaccurate though. If the machine does not establish a correct baseline for your normal level of nervousness, it will give false readings during the test. That's why they ask you all those easy and obvious questions at the start. They are trying to determine what your normal response to a true answer is.

Yes. The detector works on there is no reason for you to be nervous if you are telling truth. Whenever you are trying to lie, it creates an interruption in your system which is not very pleasant. But of course, you can be trained to beat the lie detectors. Basically, telling lies as you are telling the truth.

Yes it will.
People can be trained to make lies come out as truths from the lie detector.

You can't lie if you don't know the truth. Lie detectors just measures the pulse rates and heart beat.
