Yes. A fuse is governed by something called a "Time Current Curve". This is basically the melting/clearing curve of the fuse on a graph plotting current vs time. If the current is very low, the fuse may not melt or may take a very long time to melt.
If the fuse is improperly sized, not upstream from the fault location, or of there is a high fault impedance the fuse may not trip.

Yes. The short can be around the fuse. The short could be to ground before the fuse. Anything allowing current to flow around the fuse might stop the fuse from doing it's job.

Maybe the circuit doesn't have a fuse.
Maybe you don't have a short but a bad connection or an open.
Motorcycles sometimes have circuit breakers that reset when they cool and relays are also in some systems.

It could be possible.
At this point, anything is.
You had a problem gluing your (new) turn signals together.
Just before this question you acknowledged you had a bad battery.
