yes it's possible, and if the heel was pointed it could have put enough pressure on one spot to break a small bone in your foot.

Yes, it is possible, but more likely is that she sprained your foot at a particular joint between foot bones.  It sounds as if it is only bruised with maybe a blood blister?  If it is not painful to walk then you are probably ok.  The blood blister will eventually be absorbed.  If it continues to cause you pain, get it checked out by an M.D.

Yes, My husband had a broken bone in his foot for months and  never knew until he would workout then it would bother him. Go to the dr to be on the safe side. If it is broken, you'll get the healing over with faster if you wear the boot they give you.

Any bone has the possibility of being broken.

If you can walk on it and move your toes, it's probably just a really bad bruise.
