Yes. Bloody Mary was queen of England for a six year period between the reigns of Edward I and Elizabeth I. She is referred to as "Bloody Mary" because she tried to restore England to Roman Catholicism and executed around 300 Protestant dissenters during her reign.

Mary the First which most Bloody Mary stories come from was. She is the daughter of Henry IIV (the one that had six wives) and sister of Elizabeth I. Mary gets her nickname from the English peasants that hated her so, and the fact that she executed all the Protestants and put the Catholic Church back into power. She is also known for having many miscarriages, and in her final year it was believed she was pregnant but it was really a stomach tumor. They didn't know (doubt they could cure it) so she died from it. Which is lucky for Elizabeth I who threw the Catholics out the door and took power as the head of the Church of England (her father 'founded' it), which is of Protestant faith. By the way, don't get her confused with Mary of Scotts, they are different people, even if they are related and lived in the same time. But when Mary of Scotts was a baby, Elizabeth I was a thirteen year old girl who in adult hood would have to execute her for treason against the crown.

I think you may be referring to the Old Urban Legend of Saying her name 3 times to rise her from the dead ... that is not true (Watch the movie Urban Legend it will clear that up for you)
As for the person, yes she was a real queen, she put a lot of people to death and thus got the name Bloody Mary.
Also the drink is real too.

yes, Bloody Mary is real.
She was Queen Elizabeth I's sister Mary. She was catholic whereas Elizabeth was protestant. And Mary killed so many people in her life time, that she was called "Bloody Mary"

Eh, no. And neither is the Bogeyman.
Unless you are referring to Queen Mary (who preceded Queen Elizabeth the 1st of England.)
edit: Mary Queen of Scots was NOT Bloody Mary. Mary the 1st of England was (Henry the 8th's first daughter). They are two different people. They were both Catholic however. Although one was happy to co-exist with Protestants the other was not, hence her nickname Bloody Mary.

if you mean, was she ever a real person, then no (although the moniker "Bloody Mary" was carried by a queen, there's no other connection between the queen and the legend)
if you mean, will she appear if you say her name however-many-times in the mirror, then also no
