If you have access to a pool, swim sprint freestyle or butterfly. Your lats and shoulders will develop nicely.
Better than nothing, but not by a whole lot. Swimming is vastly different from weight lifting.

Pushups work the lats a bit as well, and you can never do enough pushups
If you are doing pushups where your lats are worked considerably, you are doing them wrong.

If you have a punchbag, take it down, twist up a towel and do chins from whatever you were hanging the bag from.
Yes.

KOU, I'm here as backup in case he tries to disagree with you again. Rear lateral = deltoids. Rear lateral with focus on lats = row.
What the hell are you talking about? What is a "rear lateral"? A lateral is not a muscle, it is a move. If you bend over and perform a dumbell lateral raise, it's just a bent lateral, and it will not target your latissimus muscles. Get a clue.
Anyway, yes, the dips will hit your lats somewhat. If you doubt this, try doing several back moves and then doing some dips. You will feel it. I would not, however, recommend performing dips as a method of working your lats. They are not the primary mover in the exercise by any means.
Please either get a pullup bar, perform pullups hanging with a towel or chain, acquire some dumbells and do bent dumbell rows, acquire a barbell and do bent barbell rows, or something similar. Do not lift your bed... you probably can't get a natural grip on it and you will just end up stressing out your lower back.
It is amazing how much bad advice some of you guys can pack into one thread.
