You gotta remember that in those very ancient times of the flood myths (other cultures and religions in the region have flood myths) The "world" wasn't the entire planet as we know it now. What they meant was their known world, or the Mediterranean and North African coast.
So it's very likely that a massive flood maybe caused by an ice age thaw, caused the Mediterranean and ancient coastlines, where humans settled, to flood and destroy all their homes.
I don't think so, but you can never say it's isn't possible that some guy built a barge and put his family, livestock, etc. On it and they survived the floods and thought they were the only ones
There might have been a flood at some point where some people survived on a boat, but the noah story isn't based on any such event, it's just plagiarized from the epic of gilgamesh
Maybe that story was based on a true event, but it wouldn't involve someone named noah
