If you have enough of it. Water will slow down and stop a bullet, if there is enough of it.

I think so. It is difficult to shoot a person who is inside the water. There tar will stop the bullet.

I hope you're not considering making a home-made bullet proof vest by covering a jacket with pitch.

Yes depending on the thickness and depth of the tar or pitch.

Sure, if there is enough of it in the path of the bullet. What do you think would happen if you were at the bottom of the ocean and shot a bullet upwards where it's three miles to the surface?
