Possibly, make sure it's well ventilated to prevent your ants from dying. Also, always wash your formicariums before using them.

You can open the lid a little bit to allow more air to flow in and close it when you're not watching them.

Should be alright, just make sure they don't escape (that happened to my Black Crazy ants when the lid wasn't closed properly).

I would let the whole setup air out for a good while to make sure that the fumes have vanished. Maybe even wash out the outworld.
Btw what kind of glass glue have you used?
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

not really sure it's made for aquarium...but in the instruction it is showing that the glue is infact SAFE for aquarium

Probably not, but do keep an eye on it just in case.
