Parents use it to teach children about budgeting or to explain why a requested toy can't be bought.

90% of the time, yes. However, it can also mean being physically or mentally exhausted.

No, it's not rude, but it is informal. It's a common way to express a difficult situation with a bit of humor.

Yes, you can say 'O sıfırı tüketti' to describe someone else's bankruptcy or exhaustion.

There isn't a direct idiomatic opposite, but 'paraya para dememek' (having so much money you don't even call it money) is a good contrast.
