I believe, yes. There has been RPG Maker games that were created for one and his/her friends.

Yes, if you have the knowledge required.

From the FAQ:

Can I make a multiplayer game?
Multiplayer games require a lot of work. Aside from setting up the game, you would need to have a decent server set up capable of handling the workload of any number of clients connecting to it at a given time. A slight bit easier to do would be a Peer to Peer game (such as anything with LAN play) but even this requires a large amount of scripting. Though the RGSS3 library does include several built in Ruby classes, Socket and other similar network related classes are not included in the built in classes. This means such a class would need to be built from scratch using Win32API or similar commands. This is a LOT of work and almost no one would want to do it for you. This does not mean it hasn't been done. There are kits built for network games in older versions of RPG Maker and there are some scripts that can connect to the internet for things like a trophy system or online leaderboards. The amount of work required is still insane and even with a lot of experience, very few people will ever have the required skills to pull it off.

Short answer: No
