One presumes that an undergrad degree in comparative literature, linguistics, some languages, or various related fields would be a fine background to an English PhD application. Physics, perhaps not so much...

I can't speak for other countries, but in the USA the main concern is one's background competence and being able to appropriately document that competence, rather than the actual degree. A former university faculty colleague of mine got an undergraduate degree in English and later a Ph.D. in math, and is now a full professor of mathematics. Another former colleague of mine (at the time, in a non-university setting) was at one time a full professor of mathematics at an R1 Doctoral University and currently teaches English at a different R1 Doctoral University.

Of course you can. Yes, once you complete a Ph.D. in English, you will not need a bachelor's degree and you will not need a master's degree when you search for a job.
Entry into a Ph.D. program in English may be done by those with bachelor's degrees in other, related fields. Or by those with appropriate experience outside academia.
