It's probably best not to dry any clothing in a microwave oven, but I definitely would not dry anything that is 100% cotton in one. As micros don't really produce heat, which dries things, just energy, which heats them - and agreeably may heat the water in the material, producing steam, in a confined micro - probably not going to dry anything. Watch out for the frequently metal zipper or non microwaveable buttons.

Yes, if it is wet or if it is used to line or cover food. Microwaves pass through it.

Can you melt a eraser in a microwave?

According to my experiment to try to melt a eraser in a microwave oven, it failed. I put the eraser on a paper plate into the microwave and set it for five minutes. Unfortunately it failed by only getting warm. It may be a good idea to try it for longer, but it will most likely not melt because there is no radioactivity. With that the microwave allows the eraser bits to melt. But without it, heating an eraser is no good.
