Yes you can, one does not become fat purely due to the intake of food. There are many other factors, such as stress, depression, your metabolism and several others that play a role in whether or not you gain or lose weight, regardless of how much you eat.

Absolutely. Eating disorders affect people at all sizes and you can't tell if someone has binge eating disorder just by looking at them.

Yes!! When you have an eating disorder, you can be any weight. You can be anorexic and not be extremely thin, and you have a binge eating disorder and be thin.

Yes of course. Everyone's body is different and every body adjusts differently to eating habits. There are stereotypes saying otherwise, but trust me. Everyone is unique.

Yes, weight does not dictate whether you have a binge eating disorder, or any form of eating disorder. It is the actions that you do that dictate if you have one and which one in specific, Also eating disorders aren't something that happens in only thin people or only in heavier people, Any person regardless of weight can have and experience an eating disorder.
