Yes. When the flash point met it will begin to smoke and then flame. Hope you are close by and no one else home

No the hot air coming out of the vent is not hot enough to cause a blanket to catch fire. If that would be so what about carpeting and other flammable items located near or around the vent.

NO. the heat that is blown out of the heat supply "vent" is not adequate to start a fire. However, make sure that blankets and other objects inclduing furniture do not cover or block the return air vents. They are necessary to adequately heat/cool your house.

i wouldn't say zero.. freak accident could happen.. but i would like to put 10$ on those odds. i use to put a blanket over the register and line books on the sides so it would make a tent when it started blowing.. I also have lived in older homes that have gravity heat (no forced air) now those get real hot if its close to the furnace (160 common) warped plastic b4. i sit a plant(fake) on one of my registers to block some of the flow

Almost certainly not. Hot air vents are deliberately limited in temperature so as not to pose a flammability threat to objects placed nearby.
