No, they can't. They just make people think they do. See the example of how an illusion killing someone in armor leaves a dead body inside perfectly intact armor.

Walls are as expensive or more expensive than illusions, btw, so why anyone would learn and use them instead of illusions is beyond me. Who disbelieves a wall?

No, it can't. See the example of the illusion of a pit, which might result in someone thinking they've fallen in, but really when the illusion ends, they'll be seen to just be lying on the ground.
People who disbelieve walls tend to be people who are familiar with a place to know there wasn't a wall there before, or who saw the wall magically appear.
