Yes -- in the offices of the Broadway Journal at 304 Broadway Street, New York City, where Poe was editor in 1845 (probably late November or December). Poe had recently published an article of Whitman's "Art Singing and Heart Singing," and Whitman had come to get payment. Whitman commented on their meeting, which he called "amiable" in his conversations with Horace Traubel, and in Specimen Days (a memoir of sorts).

There is no evidence that Walt Whitman and Edgar Allan Poe ever met in person. Their literary circles in 19th century America were separate and their styles and themes were different, with Whitman known for his free verse poetry and Poe for his macabre and gothic tales.

If you mean Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Pierre Baudelaire, no.

If you mean Mr. Arthur Poe and Mr. Bertrand Baudelaire in 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' by Lemony Snicket, it is possible.

In the future, please try to be more specific.

No, Edgar Allan Poe never met President Abraham Lincoln in actuality. It has been reported that Lincoln was a fan of Poe's work.

No, since Poe died when Twain was 13. However, Twain was aware of Poe's writings, may have been influenced by him, and did say a few things about Poe.
