Do negative calorie foods have 0 calories?

No. Negative calorie foods, like celery, have calories, but your body burns more calories digesting it than the food actually has. So, say a celery stick has 10 calories, but it takes your body 15 calories to digest it. Therefore, you burned 5 more calories than you ate, negative calories.
