Certainly you can. Just be aware that it's not very positive.

Yes that is the best answer when one is not at her/his best, or worst. It's kind of similar to "okay" or "good enough."

Of course, but it is more for people you know somewhat... you may not want to respond that way to people you don't really know.

Sure. That's the equivalent of the French "comme si, comme ca" or the Arabic (Yemeni colloquial) "nos pi nos".
