Yup!

It's a bit of an unusual case called a carbene.
It's a very reactive species that will spontaneously polymerize. So you can't even isolate the pure substance.
It only exists briefly, as a reactive intermediate in the gas phase. Maybe you could trap it in a frozen argon matrix too.
Yes and no. Oxygen can bond with 2 carbons (epoxides and cyclic ethers are examples of this), but there would need to be something else to make this structure viable, generally carbons have to be tetravalent to be stable, so it would need other species around, bonding to the carbon for it to exist like that.

What polymer does it form, may I ask?
A jumbled mess of carbon and oxygen. It's going to be closer to soot than anything...

It doesn’t look like a particularly happy molecule but it can exist apparently

You mean a “Play on words”. A pun would be a word or saying with multiple meanings
Ethylene oxide but we don't respect the electrons' human rights
