This stuff works as a soap, but any sort of perceived premium/benefit/superiority over any other soap is pretty much fiction. The fact that it's derived from olive oil means nothing. The final product does not bear any resemblance to and has no health benefits associated with olive oil.
All homemade / small bath / artisan soaps are made from saponified vegetable oils, like Dr. Bronner's. This is how soap was made in the good ol' days, as oil + sodium hydroxide.
Why are mainstream, commercial soaps different? Old school soap is fairly harsh and doesn't lather all that well. Soaps now contain, in addition to the soap, lathering agents, moisturizers, and other ingredients that enhance performance.
Soap, toothpaste, laundry detergent are all complex products that have been carefully optimized over time. This whole nostalgic reversal back to old-school formulations should be treated with healthy skepticism.

Yes.
"This incredibly versatile soap is vegetable-based, and made free of any animal fats and synthetic ingredients. It was first made in the Mediterranean before spreading throughout Europe, where it got the name Castile from the region of Spain.
Castile soap was traditionally made with olive oil, but today can be made with coconut, almond, walnut, castor, or hemp oils (like this best-selling soap from Dr. Bronner's). These oils give the soap its luxurious lathering and moisturizing properties.
In addition to these oils, castile soaps contain lye. When mixed with oil, lye creates soap molecules that, when mixed with water, create charged atoms that capture dirt."

No. Castile soap is only made with olive oil.

I love Castile soap but using it in your hair will make it very brittle and strip it of its oils. Even Dr. Bronner's recommends using a different product of theirs for your hair.

If not handled properly in accordance with safety standards, yes if the lye is in a raw form. Soap is far different from raw lye though.
The same can be said for sodium and chlorine, both are dangerous in large quantities as pure raw materials but when mixed properly as table salt it's as safe as other household ingredients and, in this case, soaps.
