Yes, HOWEVER it takes a longtime. There has to be valid reasons and things about the person that they have opened up around (to you) which built your emotions.
Children and teens are always throwing that word around but it's actually infatuation. The reason for this is because it takes years to get over a lost love and sometimes you never get over it. Teens always love everyone then they dump him/her for a taller person or the guy with dad's corvette and the other d00d is out of mind forever.

Yes of course. Who voted no...
Yes, I love someone even if we are not dating. I wish we were dating though... but... I am pleased that he is happy even without me. That's what true love means, no? To wish the one you love all the best and to be happy for their happiness.
In order to love someone truly you need to know them beyond the dating phase.
Unless I guess you are really observant when they are not trying to impress
Yes. You can fall in love with your friend for example.
