Sure you can...no problem.

You may be able to re-constitute it using very low heat. However, a bolognese sauce is pretty darned quick and easy to make from scratch. You could probably make a fresh sauce with less time and effort it would take to thaw one.
it is possible that the freezing process will cause the sauce to "break". I would suspect that if it does break it is because of the different freezing points of the water and fats in the sauce. This would cause the emulsion to fall apart.

The heat would have to be low enough that it doesn't evaporate the liquid faster than it melts or it will scorch/burn. Be sure to keep it covered also. Stir frequently. You need to be careful that it heats to 165+ degrees Farenheit before serving. This will keep the bacteria at a safe level. It would be better to thaw it in a microwave first...say 15-20 minutes at a power level of 2 or 3 on most microwaves.

Yes use a low heat and add a little water to create steam and thaw out the sauce. Once it is hot bring the temp up to a simmer and serve

Go right ahead. I've heated plenty of frozen sauces like that with no ill effects. You may want to add a little lemon juice to freshen the flavors a bit.

You can, but unless you stir it CONSTANTLY (and perhaps even then!) you'll burn what's on the outside whilst the centre's still frozen solid. Assuming you haven't got a microwave oven, you might find it better to thaw it out by placing it in a small bowl and place THAT in another bowl of hot water. Takes longer, but you won't ruin it and you'll know it's properly thawed before you use it.

we do that in italy all the time covered and low heat add 1/2 glass of water. you don't need to know the scientific reason be happy that you can do it

I do... just keep bashing it down with a wooden spoon and heat it gently... make sure you bring it to the boil though eventually.

I don't see why not?

I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sure it can be done - no scientific reason not to - but, you'll be more likely to burn it. It will require more attention.

yes, covered on very low heat
