It will only remove moisture from the air and not heat. Less humid air may feel cooler. A thermostat will read the same temperature with or without the humidifier. Weather reporters give us a temperature and a humidex. The humidex (humidity index) is an estimate of how we perceive the combination of temperature along with the humidity in the air.

Probally not. Dehumidifiers clean the air around you if you used it as a air conditioner it probally would stay the same temperature
It won’t cool the air, but it will help with the humidity, which can make you feel warmer because your body can’t cool itself efficiently in high humidity.
Not really. By removing moisture from the air – IF there is a LOT of moisture in the air – AKA very humid, you will feel cooler and the air will be a little cooler. It won’t cool like an air conditioner though. You may notice a couple of degrees difference in your ROOM temperature if you have a room unit and about the same throughout the house with a central unit. If you see temperatures of 90 or higher in the summer and humidity levels of 70 to 100 percent, you will likely not be very comfortable with just the dehumidifier.
I found this that explains it better than I can:
