Can saliva hydrate you? Would eating or chewing something that generates saliva production be an alternative to drinking water

of course not, you're body is using water to create that saliva in the first place. So at best it's a status quo

As long as you fast yes. The body will break down fat to get energy and free water molecules in the process.

No, but it can reduce the feeling of thirst.
That's why you can suck on a button to reduce thirstiness even though it's obviously not generating liquid.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go torrent The Edge. Haven't watched it in forever.
