Does co2 destroy our ozone layer?

No, carbon dioxide is harmless to the ozone layer. There are a couple of competing indirect effects, though: at the lower boundary of the ozone layer, carbon dioxide does slow down the production of new ozone. However, higher in the atmosphere, it helps keep existing ozone from breaking down; overall, there's some evidence that elevated carbon dioxide has actually sped up the recovery of the ozone layer from depletion caused by CFCs.

This is actually a debated topic, and research is ongoing, so it's possible that new evidence will be found that tips the balance definitively one way or the other on the "it's good for the ozone/it's bad for the ozone" scale.

No. There is negligible elemental carbon in our atmosphere. On Mars, CO2 is converted to CO, and ozone is formed. This mechanism is expected to be much weaker at Earth's higher air pressures. But CO2 presents no *chemical* challenge to ozone.
