Yes, you can. You can run about any language on Mac. I mean, it's Apple.

Java was made to run on all platforms so obviously it can run on Mac.The reason java is platform independent is dat the source code is not directly converted to machine language but to another code called byte code.This byte code is same for all platforms.The only difference is the compiler.

yes, you can. it's pre installed on macos. check in terminal, type "which java" and "java -version" (without quote) or you can install using homebrew, brew cask install java

Yes. The OS does not matter as Java is platform independent. It can run in any operating system.
