Have I understood this correctly? You are asking if "Yes" is a valid sentence all by itself? And the same for "No"?

Maybe these are special interjections in the same family as :
"Oh!"
"Hurray!"

They are special because they can take any kind of punctuation. They just happen to be rational interjections, not emotional ones (at least not usually...hehe).
