You can do almost anything with JS nowadays so the answer is yes. Lately electron framework has gained some popularity. It is used for creating cross platform apps using only JavaScript, HTML and CSS. One of the apps built with electron is the Atom editor.

Yes. Your choices to make a desktop application with JavaScript would either be through using Node.js or Meteor.js.

Nope. don't think so. you'll need an interpreter to run JavaScript. this is included in the browser. never heard of a stand-alone version. on the other hand: node.js runs outside a browser, but it's for servers and you still need additional software.

With Electron and Nodejs, now you could convert Html/Javascript to desktop exe.

Guess its possible with Node js and frameworks... (already seen some that can convert your html/css/js into some kind of app -electron , it uses v8 to interpet your code )
