Yes, it can. If you inhale the ash, you can also inahle also inhale volcanic gases (mainly steam, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide) which can harm and kill you.

It is can also be super-heated, and can kill in a matter of seconds.

The ash itself consists of tiny pieces of glass, which can severely damage you lungs.

It would depend on how much you ate. In this world, cannibalism still exists and, while illness -does- happen, chances are you won't. The flames used to burn the human body would generally killed the bacteria. I am not sure what would happen if the person was ill though. My mom accidentally ate part of my brother (she was scattering them and the wind blew it back) and he had cancer. If I find the answer to that, I will let you know :)

Yes. Inhaling volcanic ash can damage the lungs, clog the trachea, and lead to silicosis. In some cases, especially in pyroclastic flows, the ash may be very hot. People have been burned to death by volcanic ash.
