Lawsuits can be brought by anyone for anything, so yes, a real estate agent may sue a buyer.
Now, there has to be a good reason to do so in order for the legal action to not be considered "frivolous" and thrown out early in the court process.
An agent may consider bringing a civil lawsuit against a buyer if the agent believes that buyer misrepresented themselves during the purchase process (resulting in an incomplete transaction and a loss of commission). The transaction, however, would need to be large in order to warrant such costly action.

What is the seller's compensations if buyer does not keep his agreement to purchase real estate?
There are remedies available to the Seller if a buyer does not purchase the real estate as agreed in a written, fully executed contract. These are only available to the seller if the buyer has signed the contract and there are no limiting conditions such as a financial clause, inspection clause, due diligence period, etc. If the buyer breaches the contract the seller may sue to keep the buyer's deposit, sue for damages caused by the buyer breaching the contract, and may also sue for "specific performance" which would force the buyer to purchase and close on the real estate.

Is a real estate agent a party to the transaction?
Usually a real estate agent is not a party to the transaction, unless that agent is either the seller or buyer or has an interest in either side. The fact that he may be representing either the buyer or seller or even both does not make him or her an interested party in the agreement. Most states real estate laws clearly state that should an agent have an interest in either side of the tranaction then both parties must be notified for that interest. Thats why you often see and agent sellling his own home, even as a for sale by owner, the advertising and signs should mention that the home is agent owned. Its all about ethics more than the law.
