I’m based in Santa Clara, CA. If I take Voluntary Separation Package, am I eligible for unemployment benefit in California?

I think it’s risky! You should ask HR and EDD before making your decision.

Squeeze every penny you can out of this. You get rebuild your self respect later.
In CA, severance has no impact on the unemployment benefit that you are eligible for.
Yes, but after your severance is spent. You should apply to food stamps too. Food banks don't care as much so you can go there any time. If you want to save even more money, sell your car and get a bicycle, bus pass, and ZipCar membership.
Similar situation in 2016 VSP.

Yes, you are eligible.
You are taking a (voluntary) layoff due to a reduction in force.
No
