Can I use Houndoom's "Single Strike Roar" Ability to search my deck for the special energy card Impact Energy?

No, you cannot. Single Strike Roar is only able to target a specific card named "Single Strike Energy". Although Impact Energy is a "Single Strike" Energy card, it is not "Single Strike Energy".

Can I use Houndoom's "Single Strike Roar" Ability if all four Single Strike Energy cards are in play or in the discard pile?

No you cannot. Since the location of all four Single Strike Energy cards are known, there's no way Single Strike Roar would be able to find one during a deck search.
