If the existing pipe is a Class A pipe approved for venting a wood stove, you could do that but most factory-built fireplaces require you to vent using their specific pipe. If that is the case, then that pipe is not approved for venting a wood stove.

That material should just be a silica sand and is not harmful.

What diameter should the female dimension of a steel coupling flange be to receive the male end of a 6 inch and/or an 8-inch stove pipe?
What diameter should the female dimension of a steel coupling flange be to receive the male end of a 6 inch and/or an 8-inch stove pipe?
If you are referring to the flue connection on a wood stove, there is no general answer we would be able to provide. I will note, however, that most stovepipe manufacturers will offer a stovepipe to appliance adapter to provide the proper male end down connection by accounting for slight differences between the female stove flue connection and the male connection of the stovepipe.
