Not by itself. You can line the bottom of a cake tin with wax paper. It will help the cake come out of the pan and will not harm the cake.
Wax paper melts at a higher temperature than plastic wrap, which makes it ideal for using it as a splatter shield on TOP of food. Microwaves do not heat the wax paper, they pass thru it according to wikipedia.com.

If you have holders that can go in the oven, put a few layers of newspaper on a cookie sheet, and lay your candle holder on it. The wax will melt off, and you will just have to give it a wipe when it comes out of the oven. You can also soften the wax with a hair dryer, if you aren't comfortable with using the oven to melt wax.
Put paper towels under the cloth and iron it on low heat. The wax will go into the paper towels.

No, wax paper is not recyclable. It can't be recycled because is is coated with wax(thus the name "wax paper"). The wax paper can't be recycled with normal paper because the wax would mess up the recycling process.
Wax paper does not absorb heat. Wax paper is coated with paraffin, which does not allow heat to be absorbed. This allows wax paper to be used when cooking.
If you are firing it in a kiln, absolutely not, considering that it gets to over a thousand degrees and the wax paper will just burn and cause ash particles to stick to your pottery (and the wax might just mess up the surface of your piece) If you are baking it in your oven... i guess it can't hurt but the clay might stick to the wax paper. I don't see the need as the clay will harden and lift off the surface it was on.
