You can charge a laptop with a mobile phone charger. It just charges really really slowly (or probably not at all if you're actually using it).

Generally it has to be usb-pd and 45W or more in my experience.

Depends on the charger and on the laptop whether that works.

The 2016 model will charge in sleep mode on a 30w charger, it's just glacially slow, 2-3% per hour at best. 65W seems to be the universal standard for day-to-day use with laptops.
