Yes, Abhimanyu Mishra (youngest GM ever if you were living under a rock) earned his IM title at 10 years old.

I became a Master at the age of 8, so the answer is ‘yes’!
yeah, If I could get my GM title at the age of 6, then the answer is yes. daa...
Yes, of course.
Unless you decide to spend precious moments that could be spent with chess writing pointless posts on lichess forums instead.
But you wouldn't do that, so you should be fine!!

Yes. It used to be the case that winners of certain Continental or World junior titles automatically got titles. So e.g. by coming 3rd in European U7, a player could get the CM title.
This led to slightly ridiculous situations where players who were ~1300 (and in some cases never got much better) had FIDE titles. So now, while winning junior events still qualifies for titles, there are rating floors for titles gained this way (so eg CM I think has a rating floor of 2000 if obtained by winning an event, while if got the normal way it requires a 2200 rating)
There are also of course a small number of extremely talented players who can get titles the conventional way at very young ages.

The UK has 2 U13 titled players I am pretty sure (I think!)
