If you were using garden chemicals in the microwave, it is probably ruined as the microwave contains many plastics that can retain and absorb chemicals. Don't trust your food with any herbicides or pesticides. On the other hand if the chemicals were only used in a Pyrex dish that has been in the microwave, there may be no problem at all. Pyrex like other glass objects does not retain or absorb chemicals and is easily washed (this is part of the reason it is used for chemical laboratory glassware).

The simple rule of thumb is - if it can be used in a CONVENTIONAL oven it can be used in a Halogen Oven. My understanding though, is, if a Pyrex dish was to be used with a lid it might not cook the food properly. A Pyrex dish without a lid would cook the top of the food fine but leave the bottom soggy.
Yes it can. I usually let it sit on the counter for about 10 - 15 minutes just in case there is a flaw in the pyrex dish.
yes, all pyrex dishes are tempered glass and can go in the oven
To protect Pyrex bowls from breaking always place hot bowls on a dry towel or potholder, never damp towels or metal trivets. Do not place Pyrex bowls directly on stove top burners or under broilers. Allow the oven to fully pre heat before placing dish in the oven. And finally, cover the bottom of the dish with liquid before cooking meat or vegetables.
When using a glass/Pyrex dish the temperature of the oven is 25 degrees lower.
