Yes or No

In an emergency, sure, or use an ammonia neutralizer. But finding the cause is most important. This is really impossible to answer without knowing what is happening.

If nothing is in the tank, leave it to help establish the biological filter. If you have stuff in the tank... that's another story. I haven't tested any ammonia since day 3 (started with live rock)

If it is in a new tank during the cycle, I do not make water changes unless there are corals or other sensitive life on the rocks I am trying to have survive the cycle.
