People here in Japan will understand. It just will not look natural. Young Elementary kids typically only write in Hiragana because they have not learned Kanji yet. Kind of like English, you first learn pring and then cursive. So in short people will understand your writing. Just it will not look normal.

If you use it in a correct sentence, yes. Also remember that many Japanese words are pronounced the same but have different meanings and kanji. Example: spring (season) and paste/put up on.
Also worth mentioning, kanji helps break up the sentence, as there are no spaces in Hiragana. Generally, reading all hiragana can be a pain but your message will still get through.
