Yes
Set the compass to wider than half the length of the line segment.
Put the point of the compass on one end of the line segment and draw two arcs, one either side of the line (roughly near the middle).
Put the point of the compass on the other end of the line segment and draw two further arcs to intersect the first two arcs.
With a straight edge, join the two points where the arcs cross. This line is the perpendicular bisector of the original line segment.

Yes, but you will also need a pen or pencil. Also, if the line segment is very long (eg 5 metres) you may have difficulty in finding a compass that will do the trick!
Yes, it is possible to construct a perpendicular line that bisects a given line segment. To do this, you can use a compass and straightedge: first, draw arcs of equal radius from each endpoint of the segment to create two intersection points above and below the segment. Then, draw a line through these intersection points, which will be perpendicular to the original segment and will bisect it at its midpoint.

No, it is not possible to construct a cube of twice teh volume of a given cube using only a straightedge and a compass.
