It is considered as self-harm even if you don't have any marks left on you. It is still emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and psychologically scarring.

Self harming doesnt have to leace visible marks to be considered as self harm. Anything you do which is intentionally harmful to yourself would be considered as selfharm.

Yes. If you harmed your body in any way, it is considered as self harm. Even if you don't have any wounds or marks, you harmed your body or tried to do that.

Yes, because when doing something that is considered self harm is still doing a self harm.

Any time you're deliberately causing yourself physical harm, whether or not you are leaving visible marks, is considered self-harm. Especially if you're doing it in response to an extreme stress or emotion.

Self harm is not just physical harm it is also mental harm, yes it is still a self-harm episode if you are abusing yourself with negative thoughts.
