Yes. Matter and antimatter are constantly appearing in a pair and then colliding into each other which destroys the particles. It's been proven in laboratories that subatomic particles can pop in and out of existence from nowhere.

Perhaps from an extremely massive (therefore extremely unlikely) quantum fluctuation. This comes about because gravity stores negative energy. For a simple, 2-body universe, the energy of the system is zero at infinite spacing between the bodies. The energy decreases as the bodies grow closer. Alan Guth calls this "the ultimate free lunch."
You did ask in physics.

Reasoning a theory from nothing is not something. For instance, 0 = 1, is not a working or proven hypothesis. However, nothing such as a vacuum, can suddenly be something for instance, a particle may virtualize in a vacuum such as predicted by quantum physics.

If you are referring to the question of the beginning of the Universe then you may be making a poor assumption. "Before the Universe" is poorly understood and perhaps even meaningless. Read Steven Hawkings books for a better understanding of the Universe.

No. You cannot get some thing out of nothing. A created thing has a creator.

The only instance that ever happened was the Big Bang. Other then that it would defy Newtons fundimental principles.
