You could make a multi-tasking os with no memory protection (kind of like AmigaOS), and with a partially posix api. Is that still Linux?

That's basically just NuttX. Along similar lines is Zephyr, which is actually managed by the Linux foundation and broadly follows kernel conventions where reasonable.

Yes, that's called uCLinux - linux without an MMU.

Yes, such a thing exists and its a build flag in the Linux kernel.
