Spherical magnets exist, but they still have a north and south pole. Do you actually mean a spherically symmetric magnetic field? If so, no, the divergent magnetic field would violate Gauss's Law.

a magnet can be made in any shape you want them to be. Earth is the simplest example of a spherical magnet. The poles ofa magnet are not determined by the shape of the magnetized object. Magnetic poles are where the magnetic flux lines originate and terminate in a body. This is determined by the direction the iron molecules are arranged in an object. so you can have a triangular magnet, a spherical magnet a hexagonal magnet. ny shape you would want it to be. Most magnets are made in such a manner that the poles are flat, well defined surfaces as they are the easiest to use and this help in increasing the strength of the magnet.

Yes.
Spherical magnets are the favorite toy of theoreticians, because of their symmetric shape.
Spherical magnet has uniform magnetic field inside, and perfect magnetic dipole field on the outside. Demagnetization factor of spherical magnet is 4/3 exactly (wow!)

Yes, charges can be aligned on any shape with
polarization. For example, the Earth or any
object which we charge using an electromagnetic
field.
