22 now. Started when I was 20. Mostly do easy runs, 1 tempo per week and rotate another hard workout as well

If this is a serious question, then, no, it's unlikely that a 22 yo with 2y of running experience and current 6-ish ability, will knock off a minute. Sorry.

You were generous. I give 1/10.
I think it’s possible. I didn’t start running until my mid 30s and it took me a few years to break six and then 3-4 more to go sub 5.
Only if you find a downhill course.
Only if you:
a. Are overweight and have plenty of weight to lose
b. Have not actually run any hard workouts or efforts. (Keep your mind open enough to realize that this might be true.)
c. Average less than 20 miles per week now but will increase weekly mileage.
d. Any combination of those.
All love my friend but I ran 5:49 on my first ever 1 mile run when I was 13 and have never stepped foot on a track or ran more than a mile before that point in my life

Awful attempt, even by lrc standards
Roger Bannister ran some cross country as a youth, and in 1946 ran a 4:53 at the age of ~16yrs. Eight years later, in 1954, he broke 4min.
Since you already have two years of training, you may want to try his program. His coach Franz Stampfl's miler program:

Note, of course you will need to adjust the paces of the 400's accordingly for your fitness/goal. The point was to show you the basics of the plan, rather than the details of the repetition paces.

Yeah you totally can, but it would probably help to switch up your workouts a bit. You might want to try doing shorter faster tempos (5 minutes or less per tempo) and track intervals (400s and 800s are helpful for the mile). You can do 2 workouts per week, but make sure you have 2-3 easy days in between them, and the rest of your days should still be pretty easy runs.
If you are a sub-57.5 400m athlete today, yes it is still possible.
If you are a 67.5-plus 400m athlete today, more of a challenge.
Are you a female?

I have no idea what your current weight is or how much running a week that you do other than what you posted. In my experience, I ran a mile in a sophomore PE class in 5:48 at the age of 15. The next year I ran XC and then track. In my first HS race I ran 4:37 so it can be done.
Meme-tier post.
Depends on your weekly mileage to be honest. Could you maybe do it one day? Yeah. Will it be easy? No.
But the response shouldn't change your mind at all. Keep at working at it. You'll get better.
