Happy or unhappy is a feeling. And those feeling is driven by the circumstances in the state you are in. We can not choose we want to be happy or unhappy because it is automatically connected with our emotion that live inside of us. In another word it will reflects on how we feel. For example: When we lost something or someone, can we choose to be happy? Or when we achieve our dream can we choose to be unhappy? So this is what I mean with feeling and emotion. "Happiness is something the consequences of what we do and what we behave. So when a person who is unhappy shifts their focus and does something different, they help themselves become happier" But, if you are in a different state and you know how to control your emotion and feeling you will result in the right response to what you feel.
In order to feel happy, you have to "do" happy.

Yes, but even when choose to always be happy, there was a time where we feel bad sometimes for a moment.

I think it can be done to the extent that the person is willing. The world's splits in every choice and decision we made.

Yes, happiness is not a product but the by-product of doing worthwhile things.

Sometimes just smiling can make you feel happier.

Some say "Happiness comes within" , I agree. But we must not push it. It's ok to feel sad, anger. Those emotions make us become human. The most important thing is, do not drown in your emotions. I love this movie "Inside Out" , have you watched it?
