Perhaps! The blade is not tall/wide like a spatula, and the handle is oriented like a knife would be, not a spatula, but... it could be!

Maybe! I've seen a lot of cheese knives over the years but this one is unlike any I've ever seen.
My guess is that it's for hollowing something out. If so, it'd be for something that's hard to get into but isn't super tough. Like... maybe scraping all the seeds out of a squash or something.
The blade is straight for maybe 4-5" then does a ~80 degree bend to the right and then curves back around to make a full circle back to the blade, making a roughly 2" circle of metal. I'm writing this from memory, so could be off a bit.
My first thought was gut hook knife, but if it's especially question mark shaped it could be a "rescue knife". They often have a backwards facing cutting edge for seatbelts and the like.

... it's basically bent to be a question mark.
