Yes, travertine tile can be used on the floor of a gas fireplace.
The sub floor should not be a problem if it hasn't been one for other reasons. What is most important is the installation of cement board over the sub floor to keep the tile and grout from cracking. Most marble tile used in residential buildings is not so heavy as to create weight issues.
It could, but unless it's extremely uneaven (like natural slate) just lay down the pad and install the floor. Above all, read the instructions that come with the floor.
Tiles used on floors tend to be thicker than wall tiles. Also, floor tiles are subjected to flexing as people walk over them. Therefore, if floor tiling a wooden floor, use a flexible cement adhesive and grout designed to give and take without cracking.
Wood is fine for your SUB-floor, but not as the substrate to which you intend to attach the tile. You still need to install a crack isolation membrane or tile backerboard on top of the wood subflooring. It's because wood has too much 'give' and will cause your tiles to track and possibly pop loose. Grout lines will crack and eventually chip out.I followed instructions exactly for installing tile to my plywood subfloor - I used a polymer-modified thinset mortar designed to work with wood, and my floor joists were 16" on centers. The only difference is that I had a double thickness of subfloor (1-1/2") instead of the recommended minimum of 3/4". Ten years later, I have several tiles which sound 'hollow' (loosened from the subfloor) and several others are cracked. These are high-density porcelain floor tiles. I'll not do that again.
I think it will be 81

To reduce the chance of fire from materials rolling out of the fireplace, the floor in front of the fireplace should be a non-combustible material, such as brick, stone, concrete, slate, etc.
it may not be adhereing to the tile adhesive (not enough used or improperly installed?)
The most practical way if holes are larger then 1/2" is to replace the tile. If the space is 1/2" or less sanded grout can be used.
