No you can not find a car by its VIN. The VIN number only tells the specifications of the car... not the location.

Well if the car is currently registered hen you can typically find out it's owners information through the DMV. However they may not provide this information to you without.

The VIN number is registered with your states motor vehicle department. So, yes it is possible to find the current registered owner of a car and police do it all the time. However, most states will not give this information out to the public. It will be hard to find a car by VIN number without some legal recourse.
