not really. you could probably make some kind of hoochy beer like drink from pure sugar and maltodextrin powder, though.

It really depends on what you mean by "clear" if it means to make a transparent colorless beverage I´ll say no, if you mean to make a beer that haves whatever color the style is but clear yes you can, and there is many ways of achiving this, temperature, finnings, filtration etc etc

Yes, just leave out the malt, hops and yeast.

You can by using your own body's specially designed filter

you can with properly designed filters. Its called "clear malt beverage." All you need is a filter with a small enough diameter membrane. Homebrew shops sell filters that leave beer with a "polish" i.e. very bright, but also remove color. Something a few grades smaller in filter screen diameter would probably remove all color.

If your problem is chill haze (clear when at room temp., hazy when cold) then about 3 or 4 weeks in the refrigerator should clear it up.
