Is it possible to publish and subscribe using MQTT, when the mqtt broker is connected to a network which is created by a NOdeMCU?
Can a NodeMCU connect to its own created network?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. But you have to take into consideration the fact that a ESP8266 is limited to the number of connections it can handle. If you have more than a few then I think that you would be better off having a router as the AP. (my opinion)
Obviously all of this is software dependent. How it is implemented.

You can increase the number of WiFi STAs connected to the ESP to a maximum of 8 (think, default is 5). The SDK uses the wifi_softap_set_config(() call for that.
