Yes, but they're such an expensive item. I'd be careful and start it very low and gradually rise the temp. With ceramics it's the abrupt temp change that causes problems rather than the target temp...and temp differences over the surface--like a flame rather than an oven.
I am going to dare to say 'yes'. While it may not be recommended or even advised I have one, I've done it before but not over high heat and with a good amount of liquid inside - no clue why I think that's pertinent. I couldn't find anything either and was willing to risk explosion. You could also consider putting it in the oven. Anyhow, mine didn't explode and my food was fine.
No, Summer of Eggplant, most all tagines are fired so that they can go on direct flame, though generally with a flame tamer and some caution about not heating them too high, too fast. The Emile Henri Flame ceramic is of much tougher stuff than that. Absolutely no worries about putting it on a gas flame.
Yes! Emile Henri Flame can even go on a grill. Definitely, my favorite cookware.

Moroccans have been using tagines over direct fire for a couple thousand years !
