As a medical student and science enthusiast, I strongly believe it can, just not at any given time. 100 years ago we didn't have a tiny fraction of the answers we have right now.
Consider something as big as the universe and how little we knew about it. Consider something as small as a cell or a molecule and how little we knew about it 100 years ago.
Now consider how much we know about both these concepts. And how much we'll know in 100 more years. The more answers we get, the more questions we'll get, obviously, but the answers will also help us answer other challenging concepts that we can't necessarily comprehend at this point in time.
No. But science is willing to admit it doesn't know how to answer to everything and keep pushing its boundaries.
And even if some previous answer was found to be false, science will admit it was wrong and improve.
Not everything but that's why we try to learn and make a progress everyday. Science is honest, it doesn't claim to know ~~everything~~ unlike some and it doesn't discriminate anyone

Science doesn't necessarily answer questions about society, including questions about race and sexuality. These are moral questions, and while science can probably help (ex. science can tell you if you are born gay), it can't always answer questions by itself (ex. "should we legalize gay marriage?")

No, not until there occurs another paradigm shift. The current scientific paradigm is based on materialism and methodological naturalism which largely limit its scope to the world of observables and empirical.
