No. DVI-D is digital only. The DVI-I is the one that also carries analog (VGA).

DVI-D carries digital video. If you're TV has a DVI or HDMI input, you can use the DVI-D output of your graphics card and an appropriate cable to display on your TV. Audio will (most likely) need to be handled separately.

Yes, but again, audio will likely need to be handled separately (if that's an issue).

Your question was "but what if i buy dvi-d to vga cable and plug it in to my second screen WILL IT WORK ? " I answered that. You need a DVI-I to VGA.
And to answer your next question, 'what's the use of DVI-D'... it is an interface to pass digital video signals to a digital monitor.
