Not possible. BBM doesn't use SMS messaging at all.
The overage charges might be a billing error, or due to some other SMS usage. It wasn't from BBM.

No, they don't. That wouldn't be possible.

Some IM apps use SMS, some don't.
JiveTalk (BeeJive IM) does not use SMS... it uses data.
I have no experience with other IM clients.
