Yes the ash would build up and clog the air filters to the combustion chamber
When volcanic ash enters a jet engine, it melts in the intense heat and re-solidifies inside the engine as glass. The glass then clogs the engine. Ash particles also scrath the cockpit windows, making it hard to see.
Volcanic ash can clog the throat and damage the eyes and lungs. The weight of it can bring town trees and roofs. When mixed with water it can form deadly mudflows called lahars. It shorts out electrical circuits and can clog and damage the engines of cars and planes, potentially causing planes to crash.
No. While volcanic ash can have a basaltic composition, it usually does not. Basalt forms from lava. Volcanic ash forms tuff.
Volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs are called tephra.
Volcanic ash has occasionally formed molds of animals. This occurs when the ash covers the animal and -

Because of a volcanic ash cloud which could have destroyed planes engines
After volcanoes erupt, a huge cloud of ash rises above it. This ash cloud causes problems for aeroplanes in mid flight.
Anything that's in the air will also get into the Engines. And volcanic ash is like fine sand, it's abrasive. Getting that into an Engine can shorten its Life and even make it fail pretty much immediately. So since (jet) Engines can't be fitted with air filters, it's safer not to fly through volcanic ash Clouds.

Volcanic ash can reflect sunlight back into space, leading to a temporary cooling effect on the climate. It can also affect cloud formation and precipitation patterns. However, the overall impact of volcanic ash on climate patterns depends on the size and duration of the volcanic eruption.

Volcanic ash can cause lung problems from breathing the ash in.
