I have a recipe that calls for canola oil in sauteing onions, and all I have is olive oil.

Olive oil is BEAUTIFUL for cooking with, especially sauteeing onions, garlic, ginger...things like this. It adds a fabulous flavour. And if you take it one step further, olive oil is great when caramelizing onions if you want to cook them more.
I cook with it all the time.

Yes you may, at long as flavor is not a factor.
Or if you the taste of olive oil is ok for you and those eating. olive oil will give you additional flavors. If not try light olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil has a low smoke point (295 F). Pommace olive oil is the best for sauteing. If all you have is extra virgin olive oil I would say not to use it. It will burn.

I would actually recommend olive oil above all else. It adds a certain zing to everything.

Yes that would be just fine and much more tastier! Just not for baking though.
