    No, sorry.  You need to be running at least OS X 10.6.6 and no eMac can run anything higher than 10.5 at maximum.  You would need to upgrade to a Mac with an intel processor to be able to use FaceTime.

    No. PowerPC Chips will not run anything that would make FaceTime Work.

    Skype 2 Works for Mac OS 10.4 and above. That would be my only suggestion to Replace FaceTime.

    No.

    FaceTime only works on newer Intel CPU Macs using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and above.

    For your eMac, older versions of Skype (2.x ) will work with your eMac, but the hardest part is finding a Mac compatible webcam as the eMac has no built-in camera.

    What version of OS X is your eMac running?
