Different rocks have different melting/burning temperatures. So it depends on how hot the lava is (it cools slowly over time once it reaches the surface from a volcano) and what kind of stone it is in contact with. For example, limestone is destroyed at a lower temperature than granite.

Yes it does destroy the human body because lava is very hot and you'll get burned to death even by putting your finger tip(s) in it very quickly.

Get it hot enough and just about anything will burn, but lava rock won't burn under anything resembling normal circumstances.

It depends on the metal's melting point. But most metals, yes.
