No. Thorny devils do not shoot blood out of their eyes. The Texas Horned lizard, Coast horned lizard, and at least two other species, none of which are Thorny devils, will shoot blood from their eyes as a defence mechanism. See the related link below for information about the defences of the Texas Horned Lizard.

they shoot blood out their eyes
The Short-horned Lizard, also known as "The Horned Toad" or "Horny Toad" is the reptile known for shooting blood from the corner of its eyes as a defence tacit. When scared it can also inflate so that it looks twice its size, and blood out of special ducts in their eyes. The blood also contains a chemical that is poisonous to most dog species and relatives of dogs, so as well as distracting the foe, it can seriously irritate it. Contrary to popular misconception, the thorny devil, a lizard of Australia, is not a creature that can shoot blood from its eyes.
They can only shoot the blood from their eyes once every few hours, but this doesn't take any blood from their bodies. This blood actually comes from sacs located in their heads.
No. They do, however, bulge their eyes. See the Related Link. There is a lizard that does shoot blood from their eyes, however beardies do not.
Some species of [Horned Lizards] are known to have the ability to rupture blood vessels around their eye lids in directed streams. It is not coming directly from their eyes. It is a protective reaction to perceived threat. It has been documented in at least 4 species, but it is argued there are between 14-17 distinct species of horned lizard, so not all of them have this ability or it has not been demonstrated in most of them.
No. But where you shoot it, what you shoot it at, or where the projectile goes can be.
