    No, Yahoo isn't asking questions for you. If you have questions listed that you didn't ask, one of 2 things happened. Either you were hacked/hijacked at some point, or left your account open and accessible in some way and some other person with access posted them. OR - you somehow 'reacquired' an account that was dormant, deactivated, but didn't get 'wiped' as it should have. When an email address is closed, the linked YA profile page should get wiped clean, so when/if someone else signs up with the same email address later, when it is released for reuse. Sometimes there is a glitch and it isn't wiped, so you find old questions and/or answers on it. So, have you been active here since 2010? If not, then that might be the issue.
