You can use it, but you shouldn't. Chlorine of any type, gasses off when it oxidizes an organic. Right into your eyeballs. Chlorine will also mess substantially with your Ph, especially in a hot water environment like a tub. It'll raise it quite quickly and can actually end up making your water a little turbid as well as inducing scale.
There are non chlorine shocks out there such as "OxyBrite" that work well with ozone or bromine sanitizers as well as some enzyme products that are environmentally friendly.

Chlorine although there are many types are all basically sodium hypochlorite, chemical tablets tend to not dissolve properly and can rest on the bottom of the spa and over time cause staining. Do not use household hypochlorite. I suggest a chemical called Sodium Dichlor Granular Chlorine. It dissolves quickly and is really the only chlorine recommended for spas. You can find it on-line and most pool/spa places carry it.

Not if the exterior is vinyl...but the answer is yes, in extremely small doses, like one capful at a time.
