It is not likely to help that much, but it depends on the cause of your watery eyes. An eye exam can help determine that.

No, do not use Visine for chronic watery eyes. Try some artificial tears daily first for a couple of weeks. If it does not help, see an ophthalmologist.
No, Visine is an over-the-counter medication for red eye. You can get dependent on it. It works temporarily by constricting the vessels of the eye making the eye looks white. When the effect is gone the eye gets redder.
No it does not. Visine is meant to reduce eye redness, not to decrease tearing. There are many reasons your eyes might be tearing; a medical professional can better diagnose the reason.
Watery eyes can caused by a number of conditions. Do you have allergies? Do you wear contacts? Do you notice your eyes watering after looking at a computer screen or reading for a significant amount of time?
Although you should see a medical professional to best diagnose the reason for your tearing, for most people the cause is dry eyes. When the surface of your eye is dry, your body responds by making more tears. I'd recommend over the counter artificial tears or lubricating drops to condition the surface of your eyes. Make sure not to buy drops with medicine for allergies or redness as these have compounds in them you do not need. Consider using them four times a day to treat as well as prevent dry eyes.
