No, it isn't possible. The layer sandwiched in between the two outer layers has to be very thin in order to have transistor action. That is, the N layer in a PNP transistor, or the P layer in an NPN transistor, has to be thin. With diodes, the layers are too thick to begin with, let alone that the packages preclude placing the layers close together.
The middle layer is *really* thin, like 5 micrometers:

Yes. But if you are trying to replace a transistor with diodes, it is really hard to do.
But if you want to make one from diodes you can.
A crude one for demonstration purposes, yes, but not something you are apt to want to use in a practical circuit.
yes

Just for indication.... Dopings differ hence practically not viable.
Good luck
yes.
NO, not possible.
