Yes, however to do this you will have to use a hacked version of the Mac OS. You cannot simply buy a laptop, insert the OS 10 CD and expect it to work.
I do not recommend trying this at home, as it requires you to obtain hacked software which could possibly bring with it a slew of things you don’t want — viruses, etc. There was a Wired article awhile back on this which I have linked below.
NO, of course you can’t
No, OS X is built on different architecture and won’t work on a PC built to run Windows.
Yes, it is possible, but you need the x86 architecture version of OS X (a hacked version with the correct patches, and a cpu capable of sse3 instructions (or sse2 with a patch, but it will be slow).
However, hardware compatibility would be an issue. Your network card may or may not work, along with pretty much everything else in the laptop.
