For some kinds of electric motors - not all kinds - the answer is yes.

It is hard to explain the reasons using very simple terms, but here goes:

Most small direct current electric motors that have stators which are made of permanent magnets can be made to generate direct current electricity when their rotors are turned at a fast enough speed by another engine, such as, for example, a car engine or a steam engine.

Yes and no. If a motor was supplying electricity to a system, then it would be called a generator. The device, while unexcited, is both a generator AND a motor, but until it excites a system (a generator) or is excited by a system (a motor) does it becomes one or the other.

A motor is a device that converts energy into useful motion (arguably it can be described as a device to convert many differing forms of energy into kinetic energy).

A device that converts useful motion (or kinetic energy) into electricity is an electric generator.

Does a fan use DC electricity?

A fan can use both voltages depending on what the manufacturer nameplates the motor voltage to be. AC is the most common voltage but some smaller fans like power supply fans in computers use a DC voltage. Check the fan motor's nameplate to supply the correct voltage.
