I have a tooth with a root canal. Can a tooth with a root canal be whitened?

Yes, there is a procedure called internal or "walking" bleach, which is done on root canal treated teeth. You can ask your dentist if this procedure is appropriate for you.
Yes, but it doesn't always get a good color match and may not be right for you. This is regarding your front teeth. Back teeth should have crowns. Front teeth, with large fillings should also be crowned. Ask your dentist for guidance as it cannot be determined for you what can be done or is appropriate for you. Your dentist can help you with your decision. Good Luck.
You need a crown on that tooth, unless it is a front tooth that turned black. In that case, internal bleaching can be performed to whiten the tooth, assuming the tooth wasn't decayed.
Yes but can be more difficult sometimes.
