I have absolutely no idea if this will work, but I found this recipe that looked promising. https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2013/06/27/crunchy-cheese-puffs Have fun!

Yes - see YT for bon appetit series where pastry chef Clare Saffritz makes commercial treats or snacks from scratch.
No extruder needed, but lots of other equipment involved.

Yes, you can.

Use your favorite Internet search engine and seek out recipes for "pommes soufflées" or " "gougères" if you want something classic and Western (and far older than Cheetos).
