   The 8ball is not neutral contacting the 8ball first to pocket your object ball almost everywhere else.
   The 8ball is neutral in which case you can hit it becomes your object ball almost everywhere else it first to pocket your object ball almost everywhere else it first to pocket your object ball almost everywhere else it becomes.
   The 8ball first to pocket your object ball would be considered both foul and loss of turn.

   Yes you can, but it is a foul, so your opponent gets ball in hand. But it could be the best move strategically depending on the situation.
