In Strange New Worlds, Spock turns fully human for one episode. Somehow he struggles with human emotions, as if his biologically Vulcan side was responsible for keeping them at bay, and not years of discipline and training.
In Prodigy, the main character is a genetic amalgamation of alpha quadrant species. He undergoes a treatment to "unlock his genetic potential", causing his various genetic elements to occasionally become dominant. When the Vulcan genes become dominant, the character is logical and emotionless.
Yeah, Vulcans canonically have a brain structure that makes emotional suppression possible.
No, but it helps. They weren't evolved to suppress emotions.
Actually there is an episode of VOY that proves they did evolve a special brian region that enables them to learn how to supress emotions
