Not normally. If you take a look in a nest where the eggs have hatched the shells are usually in a zillion pieces in the bottom where they have been crushed by the adult and chicks while the chicks dry before leaving the nest.
My ducks do not.

No you need to have a female and male duck to have baby ducks.
Ducklings become fethered at about 6 weeks old, they begin to quack around 4 months old, and females lay eggs at 8 months old (around this time ducks become sexually active).
If they are with a mother, pretty soon after they hatch, but if they are not, once thy get all of their feathers.
Straight Run Ducks are ducks which are (if ordered from hatchery) ducklings sent to you right after they hatch and they don't check what sex the ducks are so its a 50% chance they are going to either be a Drake (Males) or Hens (Females).

Ducklings are not born, they are hatched. Yes, they can see after they hatch.
Ducklings hatch from eggs, just like all birds.
Just be the first large thing they see when they hatch; they will bond to you.
This answer applies to domestic ducks; No, the occasional aberration occurs and the odd one is born albino, a state of being hatched without pigments of any color. Other species and what is defined as a duck broadens the scope of the answer too far to answer easily.
