First you must figure out if is a vented or non vented gas logs. Also you must inspect you fireplace to make sure it can use gas logs. Most fireplaces can use gas logs so you shouldn't face many changes.
A thermocouple is a device used to sense the flame of a pilot light. IF the pilot light is not burning, the thermocouple does not permit the main flow of gas to the gas logs. Thermocouples DO wear out, are relatively cheap, and are made to be replaced.
The lifespan of propane gas logs depend on many different things. If the logs are 'vented gas logs' and made from heavy ceramic that take the flame directly will only last a given amount of hours until the heat of the LP breaks them apart, something like 2-3 years with normal use. A vented set using light weight ceramic fiber logs will last almost forever. If the logs are 'vent-free' they will last several years as well, until the burner burns up from the heat of the LP, but the logs themselves will last forever on any 'vent-free' gas log.

Not in that sense of the word. They are typically fireproof structures that look like logs, and are placed above a natural gas or propane gas flame. They appear to be burning, but are simply surrounded by a fire.

All unvented gas logs must have a safety pilot. Also all vented gas logs that are for propane must have a safety pilot. Vented gas logs that use Natural gas do not require safety pilots as the pressure is half that of propane although I would still recommend safety pilots on all installs.
