Yes it was used primarily until the 80's but now Tyvek is used for the water resistance under siding.
Bituminous paper, also known as asphalt felt or tar paper, is a type of building material used as a moisture barrier. It is made from paper or fiberglass reinforced with bitumen (asphalt) to help protect buildings from water penetration. Bituminous paper is commonly used in construction as an underlayment for roofing and siding materials.

There should be a layer of tar paper and then plywood.
Tar paper is used as a moisture barrier between the plywood decking and the roofing materials.
Yes, depending on what you use it for. 15 lb. felt (standard tar paper) is what is used as a vapor barrier under sand and finish hardwood floors. It can also be used as a moisture barrier behind HardiBacker or Durock on shower walls that are tiled.
tar paper over plywood, then 1" by 3" boards nailed horizontally every 24" up and down. Nail the siding to each board as you cross the wall. Seal all sides of the cedar before you nail it up.
Rolled tar paper is used in that situation as a moisture barrier.
tar paper is not a good vapor barrier for the interior. 6 mill plastic is best to use under drywall in cold climates.
Yes
if you put tar paper over wet osb it will cause it to mold
Tar paper, also known as roofing felt, is commonly used as an underlayment for flooring installation. Its benefits include providing a moisture barrier, reducing noise, and protecting the flooring from potential damage. Additionally, tar paper can help to smooth out uneven surfaces and improve the overall durability of the flooring.
I wouldn't do it. Tar paper between subfloor and finish floor is a good technique, but gluing tiles directly to a tar paper surface is not a good idea.
