Are most people in your Relative Finder Jewish or partly Jewish? If so, then you probably have Jewish ancestry. If not, then no, all it typifies is similarity.

Spanish and Italian is de facto Southern Euro whereas Lebanese_Muslim and Georgian_Jewish is quite Iranid shifted, so no, they can't be substitutes for Levantine.

I think it's a combination of both, actually.

No they're not, because they measure distant relationships between populations.

If an ethnicity keeps showing up on every test chances are you just might have it.

No you don't, there are specific tests for that such as IBD tests. Which do measure genetic relatedness, these calculators don't exactly do that. If they did, I'd have people of all those ethnicities in my Relative Finder lists. Which I don't.
