Only indirectly and by an insignificant amount. The amount of fat in a blood donation is ignorably small. The amount of anything in a whole blood donation is almost as small, even though it is critical. It is not the amount of the chemicals in the donation that is so useful, it is their inimitable organization.
Still, your body has to make up the loss. If you carefully do not consume enough calories to make up the difference the blood will be replaced by drawing on your body's reserves.
If you make a lot of donations you may want to make sure you compensate for the lost iron, especially if you are a girl who menstruates.
During WW2 my mother gave whole blood 6 times a month, for a while. She got an extra ration of liver for it because it is high in iron. SHe says they made her eat in in front of them to be sure she stayed fit for more donations.

Would be pretty sweet but no. Fat is attached to organs, in bones (yellow marrow), and is part of skin. It's present in the blood in minute amounts (like cholesterol, it's a lipid and is in the blood). And before you ask...donating blood doesn't lower cholesterol cause your liver makes it.
