check and see if you have water in oil, then pull the radiator cap and see if everything looks okay in there, if they are okay have the radiator pressurized and see if it holds pressure.

Time to do a compression check to try and isolate where the water is being introduced to the combustion chamber. It's usually a sign of a cracked head, blown head gasket, or cracked cylinder wall

Yes it can but it will start running hot eventually. It depends on how the gasket is blown. Do a compression test and find out what cylinder/s it is.

If it's misfiring you will probably be able to tell when you pull the spark plugs out.
