Without an equality sign it is not an equation.
Yes.
A linear equation is the equation of a line and that consists of an infnite number of points. What you have, in x = -4 and y = -1/3, is a single point. A single point is not a line and so there cannot be a linear equation (suitable for a line) to represent a point.
A linear relationship. Added: And a function.
The equation x=c where c is a constant is the equation of a vertical line. It can't be a function but it is linear so the answer is no. For example, the vertical line produced by the linear equation x = 3 does not represent a function. We cannot write this equation so that y is a function of x because the only x-value is 3 and this "maps" to every real-number y.
It is linear function in f and a or in f and m, but not in m and a.
No, this is not a function. The graph would have a vertical line at x=-14. Since there are more than one y value for every given x value, the equation does not represent a function. The slope of the equation also does not exist.
Without an equality sign it is not an equation.
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
Yes.

No. A function need not be linear. For example, y = sin(x) is a function of x but it is not a linear equation.
