Did the ozone corrode the ducts or other metal surfaces in the house?


No, ozone won't affect metals.

Yes, you can breathe ozone, but it's unhealthy. The ozone will attack
the tissues in your throat and lungs.


Dont those ultraviolet light devices sold for going behind the furnace
filters, generate ozone? If not, what do they do?


They generally produce some ozone, but not that much. Uv kills upon
exposure.
Some water treatment plants use large uv lamps to purify water. ozone
generators just use high voltage ac corona on plates and use fans or pumps.
