Yes you can..
Just make sure the chimney is lined with the proper insert for the material that is to be burned. Gas and wood need different liners in the chimneys..

Since they don’t share a flue, you should be able to.

Yes.

Yes, it can be done. Especially if you desire to kill yourself and your family with carbon monoxide. Contact a professional, not a bunch of strangers on a chat board.

Yes… gas fireplaces don’t need the chimney unless you want more heat to escape.
