Yes, it is possible to publish under something other than your legal name. A nom de plume isn't that unusual in academia
Uh, are you kidding? Maybe in the land of Trump, and fake news. An excerpt from your link:

"In practice, why would you want to? You would need to explain in your application why you had used a pseudonym, and I can't think of any explanation that would sound compelling. Even in the best-case scenario, this issue would be a distraction from the actual substance of your grad school applications, and it would probably hurt your chances of admission. Whatever you say, people are going to suspect it's because you are embarrassed by the paper or by your contribution to it, and that won't look good on an application."
In China maybe. Or Saudi Arabia. Pick a journal, any journal, on the shelves of Rutgers (in coach's neck of the woods). Write to the journal and ask what percentage of authors are anonymous.

Yeah, a lot of anonymous authors presenting their papers anonymously at academic conferences all over this great land.
