Hi
i did try creationg an RPM without giving a Source, but this was the error i got
error: No source number 0
Then i tried, giving an empty Source Tag, but gave me this error
error: line 10: Empty tag: Source
So, the workaround i found was to mention some souce, and then give a NoSource tag,
Source : /xxx/yyy/zzz.tar.gz
NoSource : 0
This worked,and created a rpm with no source, but i dont like this solution as i have to mention a Source Tag even though i am not using it.
Please Advice ....

Yes.

Yes (but this is in fact unrelated to having a source or not - you could
even compile the whole world and not using any of the files in the
resulting rpm ;-)).

Yes, this is possible (just include %pre/%post/%trigger sections to
do what you want to do).
