If you have a Doctor or Primary Care Physician (PCP) I'd suggest seeing them first before a hospital visit. However if you think you are in danger, it could be a good idea to go to the hospital.
In addition it also helps talking about your concerns to a friend(s) or even family.
Now there's many different types of unhealthy eating habits so my main recommendation is to take a look at your diet and see if you're getting 3 essential things adequate, "protein, healthy fat and fiber". If you're consuming more calories you may want to cut that down as well.
Lastly I would recommend exercise as well. Can't say it has correlation for you, but often times food is the most abused anxiety drug and exercise is the least utilized antidepressant.

Yes. At the very least tell an authority figure who'll take action and help you. Eating disorders are a messy and nasty business that is addicting and very painful emotionally and physically.

If you notice health problems such as potential getting of diabetes, then yes. If you feel sick and if your blood pressure is rising to the dangerous point, then go at the doctor and check your vital signs.

Yes! A hospital is a great place to get help. I don't mean go to the hospital simply because you ate a candy bar but it you are highly under-eating or over-eating then it's better to get help than do nothing.

Yes, it's really important to have check-ups or talk to your doctor if you are having unhealthy eating habits. If you feel uncomfortable talking to your doctor or family. Try to look for a trusted adult or someone that you really trust. When our body is not eating properly, we can't function the right way, either our brains. It's important to balance life and always remember to eat super healthy! I struggle with eating disorders and I know it can be really hard once in a while, but it is worth the trying! Most important when you can trust someone to talk about it or to you ask question like : how should I improve in this area? What should I eat at this time? Or what vitamins could I take in order to improve as well. Things like this can help too.
