Does no minimum balance mean no fees at all?

For the accounts listed here, yes — there's no monthly fee tied to a balance threshold. Other fees (like card replacement or early closure) can still apply; check the account's fee schedule.

Will I still earn profit or interest without a minimum balance?

It depends on the account. Some tiered savings accounts pay profit from the very first dirham, with higher tiers unlocking higher rates as your balance grows.
