Something/nothing/anything in a special case

3. She doesn't look anything like me.
4. This looks something strange.
5. The book looks something interesting.
Q1) Can "nothing/something/anything" be used like in the sentences above?
Q2) Is the usage of "nothing/something/anything" in the sentences above considered grammatical and natural?
Q3) Is "nothing/something/anything" used as nouns in the sentences?
I would say yes to questions 1,2 since dictionaries list the usage of them, but I'm not sure about question 3, although I checked that they function as adverbs in the sentences, I think they're more like nouns, because it's strange to say "I nothing/something agree with you".
