Re: Sprocket
A lot depends on your set up, however, I would try to find another method (welding, cutting a key, pinning...). One of the most probable problems would be the sprocket "unscrewing" itself from the shaft depending on the direction of rotation.

Re: Sprocket
Can you legally? Yes. Should you? Maybe not. Using threads is not the best way to transmit torque. At the least, you would also need a left-handed threaded hole int he end of the shaft in which you place a retaining bolt and washer, like how a drill chuck is held on.
