Raistlin (if he was around xD) is really the ultimate authority as far as tGA world and its technology goes, but here's what some players and I have come up with:

tGA is set in a Medieval fantasy world. I've always envisioned it as being around 1300-1500 if we compare the technology level of our world. Players drew the line of technology at cannons (at least Ravensworth and pirate ships have those). Early pistols might exist at tGA as well, but those would be really, really crude and would malfunction easily, and they certainly wouldn't be mass-produced (not to mention making them would be expensive and difficult).

However, there is actually some advanced technology, but it is well-guarded and kept secret. It serves as an important subplot: the mages of Alent have recently discovered technology from an ancient, extinct race and are trying to unravel the mysteries of that technology in order to build airships (think steam punk sort of stuff). So far they've failed, but depending on where the story goes, things might change (and new threats might emerge).

As for your examples, I think it's ok. We haven't really used Greek fire or any of those things you mentioned in our RPs, but their existence is certainly possible (they existed in real world, so why not at tGA too?). I think that the only thing one has to keep in mind is that the majority of the world would not have seen such weapons being used, so those weapons would not be wide-spread at least. I don't know if the demons know of such technology, though, but I think it could be possible, because their clans have been fighting against each other for millennia before they arrived in the tGA world and thus would be well versed in the art of war. Anyway, I think introducing those tactical weapons could spice the story up as long as it is kept in check.

However, if you want to be absolutely certain, you could always ask Raistlin, but as far as I'm concerned, I think your suggestions sound fine as long as you won't be god-moding those weapons.

And teaching it would really not be a good idea). It could probably easily be changed to a dwarf. It is only mentioned in passing and isn't really important(heck for all she knows he was pulling her leg and it isn't taboo at all).
I don't think we've ever had gnomes in the story. Our dwarves are basically the inventor types, so I think it would be easy to just switch the gnomes with dwarves as far as that backstory goes. It is certainly possible that there is some isolated dwarven faction that has developed such weapons in secret, so feel free to go with your idea.
