Tried it 10 years ago for a whole winter and boy does it burn fast and after the fire trucks left the fire chief informed me that the pine caused a huge residual build up totally blocking up the chimney causing more than 45,000 dollars in damage.Not only from the fire itself but from the water damage and holes they axed into my roof.So I would have to say burn a harder wood that has less sap to burn and make sure the chimney is clean from the start.

Yes, but it's not advisable.
The pitch in pine wood can make a mess, and since it's a soft wood, the smell isn't pleasant at all.

You can used kiln dried wood, split fine, as kindling to start a fire. I wouldn't use it for a sustained fire though because it burns way too hot and fast. You would go through tons more than you would if you used a nice kiln dried hardwood. Also, if it is wet or green, all you will get is smoke.

I'm really not sure, but I've been told that the pine tar is bad for your chimney

No, it burns dirty. Your fireplace will turn black with soot and clog up.
