If they never tested you and can't prove that you were drunk, then the answer is no. I would need to know all the facts in the matter and what the police know in order to answer this question.

Not unless you took a blood or breath test which showed you were drunk at the time.

They would need more evidence than just your admission. They would need some evidence of your blood alcohol content or your BAC level in order to successfully prosecute.

To answer your question... yes. However, if the officer did not believe you, he probably had some evidence that you were not the actual driver.

Yes, it is possible you could be charged on your admission. You, and all others, should be seeking independent and separate.
