In other contexts, yes (spelled 'Buta'), but in this idiom, it refers to a 'stint' or 'turn' of work.

No, you don't 'Butta Saarna' a person. You manage a situation or a task.

Not rude, but very informal. Use it with friends, not your boss.

The phrase usually stays masculine because 'Butta' is masculine, e.g., 'ਉਸਨੇ ਬੁੱਤਾ ਸਾਰਿਆ' (She managed).
