No, the flu, if you mean it as influenza and not just another name for a common cold, is a virus. Tetracycline is used for bacterial infections. It would not have an effect on influenza. The best treatment for the flu is to prevent it with a vaccine, but there are also drugs out there that have been proven somewhat beneficial for the treatment of flu. This would be a drug like oseltamivir (tamiflu). An important distinction here is that many people get sick and just say they have the flu, when in reality they just have some random viral or bacterial upper respiratory infection. To be certain one has the flu, he/she would need to be tested specifically for a strain of the influenza virus.

No, you should not give human medications to animals.

Does Tetracycline treat strep throat?
Yes, tetracycline has been shown to be effective as a broad spectrum antibiotic that works well against many strains of strep. However, tetracycline is pretty old and has some side effects that are not super-dangerous for most, but are still problematic. It can discolor teeth with children. You can't go out in the sun whiile taking the course. And, as with older antibiotics, there are resistant strains that it won't help. It's not a bad choice against strep (in general) -- but a choice I don't see much nowadays in America, the UK or Europe, except in dermatologicla applications. Note: Can't use this when pregnant or breast feeding.
