Yes, Venom can survive without Eddie for a limited time by feeding on other hosts or energy, but it becomes unstable, weak, and desperately needs a new host, as their bond creates a unique "codex," but the symbiote can live on and bond with others, like Flash Thompson, as shown in comics and films.

The Toxin Symbiote (of Earth-616) is an alien symbiote born from Carnage as the 1000th symbiote in its lineage.
Venom contains a massive amount of HP because of his role as a Vanguard. This is why Wolverine is the ideal counter for the symbiote since he can instantly rack up Rage. This will also boost his damage. If Venom ends up running away from a complex situation, Wolverine's Feral Leap ability can prevent him.
