If the device is logged in with your Apple ID, the device is connected to wi-fi, and you provide your Apple ID to those people with iOS devices that you wish to contact you, then yes, you can use it for iMessage. You will not, however; be able to use it for SMS messages, unless you have an active iPhone and they are signed in with the same Apple ID and you have activated Text Message Forwarding.

Yes, you can. Go to Settings > Messages, and sign in to iMessage.
They would have to use your Apple ID to iMessage you if the device is only on wifi
