Say I have static IP.
Other machine I connect to can retrieve it (unless I'm hiding it).
But ... can someone mimick my static IP and successfully pose as me presenting somehow my IP to target comp?

Yes, it's possible. You should Google up "IP spoofing" so you can learn how it's possible.

They can use IP spoofing to run DoS attacks from your IP address, but that's about it. They can't browse websites from your IP address or anything like that unless they have access to your machine (i.e., they have a RAT installed).
