None of them are good sentences! Here’s a better way to say them…
1. It’s possible? It’s correct? -> Is that correct? Is that possible?
2. What’s mean “adorable”? -> What does “adorable” mean?
3. Sorry? Repeat please -> Could you say that again?
4. “Thistle? How spell? -> How do you spell “thistle”?
5. How you pronounce “island”? -> How do you pronounce “island”?
