a) without any damage
b) or even actually charging it faster?
2. Does the Sage specifically take a fast-charger?
a) If so, could I use any fast-charger?

Everything I've seen says the device being charged (i.e., the Sage) takes only what it's capable of from the charger. Higher rated chargers just CAN push more electrons down the cable. They don't unless the device negotiates for it.
So, yes, you should be able to use the fast charger with other devices without damage. It shouldn't make any difference to charging time unless the device was capable of higher charging rates than the original charger could provide. I don't know if the sage was designed for fast charging. But, theoretically, you could plug it into that fast charger and see.
Now, of course you've seen all my weasel-words in the above. IANAEE (I am not an electrical engineer (or anything similar)). So, I can't guarantee any of the above. But, that's what I keep reading. I guess, to be safe, you could chat with Kobo.
