Can you get in trouble for submitting non-fiction as fiction?

In most cases, no. Fan fiction is a popular form of creative writing by fans based on existing works. Reading it is generally a private activity. However, if the fan fiction contains copyrighted material used without permission in a way that violates fair use, the creator of the fan fiction could get in trouble, but not usually the reader.

It depends. If the fan fiction is a clear parody and falls under fair use, it's usually okay. But if it uses too much of the original work's copyrighted elements without permission in a way that isn't fair use, the writer could face legal trouble.

In most cases, no. But it could potentially be a problem if the fan fiction infringes on copyrights or contains illegal content.
