Yes.: Yes, you can get them on your tongue. No one knows exactly why they occur, but they are often secondary to an infection somewhere else in your body, or to stress, or to eating too much spicy or acidic food. I prescribe a liquid concoction that my pharmacist compounds for me; your dermatologist probably has something similar.

Yes: Stress, excess acid, irritation from a rough tooth, food allergy-multiple reasons, sometimes you need antiviral treatment as a prophylaxis, sometimes reflux treated, often using sliver nitrate heals them faster. 2o% Benzocaine gel is great for the pain.

Not usually: Canker sores most commonly occur on the mucous membranes inside your mouth. Ulcers can occur on the tongue, but they are usually cause by some sort of trauma. Canker sores are caused by a virus.
