create new sql server instance

is possible to create new sql server instance without using the setup disk?No.
A new istance is a full install and then you need to apply the appropriate
SP to the instance.

No.
New SQL Server instance is totally independant of exiting SQL Server. So you
need to use the SETUP program to install.
But you could create multiple databases in existing instance.
