It depends. Can you show us the sentence(s) you have in mind, please?

Can you take any arbitrary sentence containing the verb "imagine" or "think", and change it to "figure" without altering the meaning or creating unnatural English? No.

If your question is about a specific sentence, please post the whole sentence.

No. "Figure it out for yourself" means solve it (discover the reason) yourself.

In informal English, we have sentences like: I figured that I didn't have a chance. Here "figure" (the bare infinitive of "to figure") means suppose/think.

That's in American English in particular.
