Two vectors: no. Three vectors: yes.
Yes.
Two vectors, no; three vectors yes.
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
Yes.

Yes, two vectors of different magnitudes can be combined to give a zero resultant if they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For three vectors to give a zero resultant, they must form a closed triangle or meet at a common point where the sum of the vectors equals zero.
Two - if you add two vectors of equal magnitude but in opposite directions, the resultant vector is zero.
Two vectors can be added to result in a zero resultant if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
You forgot to mention that the two original vectors have equal magnitudes. Orient them so that their directions are 120 degrees apart.
Yes, put the three vectors in a plane, with a separation of 120 degrees between each vector and each of the other vectors.
By all means. Using Newton's third law (f=ma) Multiply the vectors by 0 and you're home
The only way that two vectors add up to zero is if they have equal magnitude and opposite direction. If the magnitudes are not equal then no, they cannot give a zero resultant.
Yes, if they are pointing in opposite directions (separated by 180°).
