You could wipe certain partitions via fastboot (not recommended) or custom recovery

1. Format all also formats preloader
2. You can securely wipe a partition for custom recovery
3. The three main methods are Fastboot, Custom recovery and Tools (SP flash, Miracle Box, Volcano box etc)

Yes , You can do it . Power on your phone in FASTBOOT MODE or BOOTLOADER mode . You can do it using your recovery or by using adb command ( adb reboot bootloader)
.
now you can use following commands(fasboot erase system , fastboot erase boot , fastboot erase recovery or fastboot flash system etc) . You can use .img files only while flashing .
If you dont know how to setup adb and fastboot , just google it.
