Yes. दोस्त can be male, female, or plural. The only way to tell is from the articles (हमारी, हमारा, हमारे).
Not a pro on this, but I have noticed that when क्या is the first word in a sentence (question) it usually translates to "Is" or "Are". When it is the second it seems to mean "What". Weird I know...

In this sentence and others like it, it turns it from a statement ("Neha is our friend") to a question ("Is Neha our friend?").
क्या is merely a "question marker". Its meaning changes depending on where it's located and what it's in relation to.
It depends if it is a male or female friend. (See the reply on the first answer.)
It is possible. It depends on how you inflect your voice. You would say something like, "Neha is our friend?" With an inquisitive tone.
